I don't believe the warning you got were iwlwifi specific, I confirmed it and
I was able to reproduce with ath9k and I also sent a patch to correct it. I'd hate
to see a work around be kept for them and the issue not addressed properly,
which is what this has been trying to address.

Mind you the patch I sent conflicts with johills patch but I figured we can
just implement a proper patch to fix that warning afterwards.
