Just to be clear I think a problem with USB code/hardware, most likely
SDIO doesn't have this issue.

Finally I got working USB boards again and I see the same thing:

Dec 13 01:43:21 x201 kernel: [   24.843691] ath6kl: Failed to start hardware: -5
Dec 13 01:43:21 x201 kernel: [   24.843781] ath6kl: Failed to init ath6kl core: -5
Dec 13 01:43:21 x201 kernel: [   24.843849] ath6kl_usb: probe of 2-1.2:1.0 failed with error -5

I remember seeing a test patch which did some low level reset on the
hardware. I need to dig that up and see if it helps.

Also adding delay to various places would be good to test, in case
hardware needs some time to initialise itself.

I doubt this helps as we are not even able to upload the firmware.
