Hi,

In ath_detach, there is:
ath9k_hw_detach(sc->sc_ah);
ath9k_exit_debug(sc);
ath9k_ps_restore(sc);
which is obviously wrong. sc->ah is dereferenced in restore, but it's
already freed since detach.

I don't quite understand why you try to set power while it's being
already set to full sleep in ath9k_hw_detach. So I think the fix is to
remove the restore call, but dunno. So please fix it anyhow :).

Yes, this is wrong.

Yes, restoring the power state in ath_detach() is pointless.

I'll fix it,Thanks!.
