I see, thanks for clarifying.

Right, so here is another attempt. Unfortunately, in 2.6.27 no constants
have been defined for the phy revisions, nor the 0xa228 register and the
bit masks involved in resetting this register. Perhaps we should consult
the stable team on this matter because the minimal approach, as
presented below, certainly lacks even the smallest degree of readability
even though we actually know reasonably well what we are doing here. The
changelog, by the way, will be adapted to quote your changeset fixing
this in mainline once it has been committed. What do you think?
Regards,

From: Elias Oltmanns <eo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ath5k: Fix reset sequence for AR5212 in general and RF5111 in particular
Take care to handle register 0xa228 exactly as in the HAL released by
Atheros. This change is required to make ath5k work again on my system
since commit 2203d6be (ath5k: Misc hw_reset updates), thus fixing a
regression in 2.6.27 and therefore hopefully eligible for inclusion into
a stable release.
v2: Only overwrite initial register values on later revisions of AR5212
chips.
v3: Use standard macros to manipulate the register.
