ath9k_deinit_channel_context() cancels chanctx_work but does not delete
the offchannel and sched timers set up by ath9k_init_channel_context().
If either timer fires after deinit (e.g. during driver unload or
suspend), it accesses sc->sc_ah which may already be freed by
ath9k_hw_deinit(), causing a use-after-free.
Delete both timers with timer_delete_sync() before cancelling the work
item.
