This patch detects the disconnect in wmi register write path,
then speedup the disconnect handling.

I take it that you didn't have ATH_DBG_WMI in your debug mask.
A simpler way to fix this issue is to deny all WMI commands once
the target has been unplugged - something like the attached patch.

Can you check if it fixes your issue ?

After the 9271 device is unplugged, you will find your machine hung for
several hundreds of milliseconds.

If ATH_DBG_RESET is enabled, you will find the debug messages
below[1] during disconnecting. From the messages, the short hang should
be caused by the 'RTC stuck in MAC reset'. Once the patch is applied,
no such issue will happen.

What bug does this fix ? Submission of URBs in the REGOUT pipe
should not really fail, and if it does, it is indicative of a deeper
problem and recovery mechanisms are needed.

If you do get WMI failures, can you post the relevant sections
from the kernel log ?
