Thanks for the patch.  I do think a different approach is probably
warranted, though. ath5k_init() is supposed to be able to be called from
resume.  Do you have a better idea of why calib_tim isn't cleaned up
properly by ath5k_stop_hw?

I'm not near my laptop to test -- does the issue ever happen if you do
NOT suspend?
