In ath_stoprecv:

        if (!(ah->ah_flags & AH_UNPLUGGED) &&
            unlikely(!stopped)) {
                ath_err(ath9k_hw_common(sc->sc_ah),
                        "Could not stop RX, we could be "
                        "confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up\n");
                ATH_DBG_WARN_ON_ONCE(!stopped);
        }

The Atheros guys will have to comment.
