Subject: Re: [PATCH] Add .set_antenna callback in ath6kl driver to remove
 wireless core warns

No. I did not any test for that case.
This driver create a new wiphy for use with cfg80211 through
"wiphy_new_nm" api, but in this api, I found that more warnings for
inconsistent ops are added there. e.g; "WARN_ON(ops->set_antenna &&
!ops->get_antenna);"
So, warning comes during creation of a new wiphy. That's why It is needed.
