Heh. It seems Eliad and I are to blame (all the rebases can really
mess with the mind).

There's a patch by Eliad to reverse the patch you just mentioned:

commit fd8e73af670e6b57708eafe927f5d0364018b4e5
Author: Eliad Peller <eliad@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Wed Nov 14 02:28:26 2012 +0200

    wlcore: don't allow access to FW mem when chip is off

(which I submitted earlier in my part 1 series)

And the current patch simply cancels it out. So please ignore the
previous patch as well as this one. Good catch :)
