That should only be showing up if virtual wiphys are used. In this case,
it should not really be showing up and is likely indicating a bug
somewhere (ath9k or mac80211). I don't know how to reproduce this
easily, so I have not looked into more details yet. It would be
interesting to add printk calls into ath9k_sw_scan_start() and
ath9k_sw_scan_complete() just after the mutex_lock() call to figure out
whether mac80211 ends up calling sw_scan_start() driver handler twice in
a row which would be one possible way to get this triggered. The other
way to hit this would be if ath9k were to somehow not update aphy->state
correctly when the scan has been completed.
