Just to be absolutely sure: ah->ah_phy_revision >= AR5K_SREV_PHY_5212
right?

Well, I'm always happy to leave the work to others ;-). The only reason
why I kept resending patches was to make sure that a minimal fix would
get merged into a stable release eventually. Presumably, a rework of the
reset sequence in itself would not be appropriate for stable. Still, if
you'll take care get something into stable, that's fine with me.
Otherwise, just let me know and I'll keep those patches coming and you
occupied reviewing them ;-).
