We had a similar issue in rt2x00 quite some time ago. In general mac80211 should always reserve enough headroom as requested by the driver in hw->extra_tx_headroom. However, there is a chance that a frame is send to the driver again (see ieee80211_handle_filtered_frame). But if the frame payload (or head) was moved due to padding and was not restored before calling ieee80211_tx_status by the driver the second trip through the driver has reduced headroom and could lead to such an error. Quickly checking ath9k_htc it seems as if ath9k_htc_tx adds some padding but ath9k_htc_tx_process does not remove the padding when passing the frame back to mac80211.
