I have the following problem with your patch:
 To change my atheros 5212 from hostap to managed mode, I need to unload
and reload if_ath.
Sometimes kldload if_ath doesn't create an ath0 device. I see the
following in messages:
localhost kernel: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem
0xc0210000-0xc021ffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci2
localhost kernel: ath0: failed to allocate descriptors: 12
localhost kernel: device_attach: ath0 attach returned 12

After a reboot, kldload works fine again.

(a working kldload would be:
localhost kernel: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xc0210000-0xc021ffff
 irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci2
