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.

Since add more warnings for inconsistent ops in cfg80211, the wireless
core warns if a driver implements a cfg80211 callback but doesn't
implements the inverse operation. The ath6kl driver implements a cfg80211
.get_antenna operation handler but doesn't have the inverse .set_antenna
callback. So, it makes warning.

To remove this warning, add .set_antenna callback in ath6kl driver and
also send a cmd to firmware with it's values.

Did you test this? What hardware and firmware version?
