Thanks, applied to wireless-drivers.git. I made a small change and added
the commit id to the commit log:

    ath9k: fix race condition in irq processing during hardware reset
    
    To fix invalid hardware accesses, the commit 872b5d814f99 ("ath9k: do not
    access hardware on IRQs during reset") made the irq handler ignore 
interrupts
    emitted after queueing a hardware reset (which disables the IRQ). This left 
a
    small time window for the IRQ to get re-enabled by the tasklet, which caused
    IRQ storms.  Instead of returning IRQ_NONE when ATH_OP_HW_RESET is set, 
disable
    the IRQ entirely for the duration of the reset.
