mac80211 will call set_key() when the device is shutting down. When the device is unplugged the keys will be lost automatically due to the power loss. When the device is not plugged but the module is only unloaded the keys can remain in the device hardware, when the module is loaded the keys will be cleaned up during initialization. This should prevent the problem reported by Johannes Berg, where unplugging the device while suspended resulted in a NULL pointer error during set_key() which was caused because of the CSR base address being freed.
