Title:
  ath6kl_sdio does not support unbinding

Status in netplan:
  Fix Released
Status in nplan package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in nplan source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Atheros users -- some of our users with wireless devices driven by the ath6kl_sdio driver; when running 'netplan apply' may wedge the wireless driver in an unrecoverable state.

  
  [Test case]
  -- requires ath6kl_sdio hardware --
  1) Run 'sudo netplan apply'
  2) Ensure the wireless interface still responds and can connect to wireless.

  
  [Regression potential]
  Renaming the interface is already broken since the interface cannot respond correctly after it has been "replugged", because the driver is not supporting the replug operation. The same applies to configuring an MTU for the interface.

  If existing installations depend on current netplan behavior to rename
  / set the device MTU, and then follow up with manual configuring of
  the device, they will regress in that the MTU setting or renaming may
  not take place. This is an unavoidable side-effect of this hardware's
  driver not supporting the required operation.

  like the brcmfmac*, ath9k_htc and mwifiex_pcie modules, the
  ath6kl_sdio module does not support unbind/bind operations.
