this commit seems to fix it, what did you do to get this warning?

commit f6b4e4d476b890e1ddebbed8ec4924f9c2750a31

    ath9k: Fix locking issue during tx completion

    The received tx status of aggregated frame without BlockAck may
    cause deaf state in AR5416 cards. So the driver does a reset to
    recover. When this happens, we release the pcu_lock before doing
    a reset as ath_rest acquires pcu_lock. This is ugly and also not
    atomic. Fixing this addresses the TX DMA failure also.

    ath_tx_complete_aggr can be called from different paths which
    takes different variants of spin_lock. This patch also addresses
    the following warning.

    WARNING: at kernel/timer.c:1011 del_timer_sync+0x4e/0x50()
