----------
digging further into this issue, I bumped onto [[https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20190705175313.19482-1-chunkeey@gmail.com/|this patch]]
if the EEPROM content is not valid, a value of 0xFF1C returns
when read from the register". So, they will show up on the system's
pci bus. However in that state, ath9k can't load, since it relies
on having the correct pci-id, otherwise it doesn't know what chip it
actually is
this BUG report looks like a [[https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=1734|#1734 duplicate]]
which states:
Please try to add the kmod-owl-loader (target/linux/generic/files/drivers/misc/owl-loader.c)
to your image. the owl-loader is supposed to do the fixup.
so I guess, if there are no objections, this BUG can shamefully {again} close as invalid ?
still Russel, the fact that your Bullet-M, under ath79, doesn't need owl-loder fixup is quite puzzling to me.
