When the sc->ps_usecount is > 0 we never put the chip to full sleep. This drains battery, and will also make the chip fail upon resume with: ath: Starting driver with initial channel: 5745 MHz ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000 This would make the chip useless upon resume. I cannot prove this can happen but in theory it is so best to avoid this race completely and not have users complain about a broken device after resume.
