OpenMesh OM2P HSv3 ath9k: probe of ar934x_wmac failed with error -5

[lockwobr@…]

I am working getting a OpenMesh OM2P HSv3 image that is fully functional, I am working off of the trunk, but the kernel module can't initialize the wifi device. I build the image with ATH_DEBUG to try to get some extra info, and now I can see that is a timeout error.
[ 9.861069] ath: phy0: timeout (1000 us) on reg 0x30018: 0xbadc0ffe & 0x00000007 != 0x00000004
Any help to figure out if this is a bug on the trunk or what I need to do to get it work would be very welcome. Also tested the ​nightly snapshot and got the same failed with error -5 dmesg error.
