Obvious question: is 5.8-rc1 (containing the commit) broken too?

I fail to see how the commit could cause an issue like this. Is this
really reproducibly broken with the commit and irreproducible without
it? As it looks like a USB/wiring problem:
usb 1-2: USB disconnect, device number 2
ath: phy0: Reading Magic # failed
ath: phy0: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -5
...
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71

Ccing ath9k maintainers too.
