It sort of works, but not without a hiccup:
I get the following messages when I try to load the driver
again after an autosuspend cycle (ar9271, NEC xhci):
ath: phy6: Reading Magic # failed
ath9k_htc: Failed to Initialize the device
usb 2-1: ath9k_htc: USB layer deinitialized
....
However, the device is resetted automatically and it
comes back on the second probe attempt.
Anyway, I do have a question about something else too.
in ath9k_htc's hif_usb:

Alan, can you please tell us, if it is really safe to
override the bmAttributes this way? After all (according to
the comment) the device has "morphed" (EP4 has changed).
Or, is it necessary for the driver call "usb_reset_device"
or (usb_reset_configuration) in this case?
