The current mainline 2.6.33 uses the cleanup field, but in a different
way.  ath_bus_cleanup() is called before ieee80211_free_hw(), so it's
should not be affected by the bug.  I was wrong to assume that 2.6.33 is
affected.

As for wireless-testing, once ath_bus_cleanup() moved from main.c to
ahb.c and pci.c, it became redundant (apart from the buggy part).

If we ever want to factorize some cleanup code in the future, it will be
different code anyway, so the current "cleanup" should go away.
