[amazon-thor] compat-wireless ath6kl doesn't work, usb probe times out

dmesg: https://pastebin.com/j89tSLY5

after doing sudo modprobe wlan (since IIRC compat-wireless compiles everything into a single wlan.ko), ath6kl tries to load, but fails horribly [43.537500] <6>ath6kl: can't wait for usb probe done. Firmware seems to load successfully (no errors), but that's it.

Done with commit 330321413b4770ecf73efb88d21aacb117ecaf92 this branch: https://github.com/MoreRobustThanYou/pmbootstrap/tree/firmware-thor

yes the internal wifi chip is USB. no i don't know why amazon would do that, perhaps because making weird hardware and software is their thing?
