Minor whitespace grumbles from checkpatch:

WARNING: suspect code indent for conditional statements (7, 15)
#132: FILE: drivers/net/wireless/ath9k/hw.c:389:
+       if (num_possible_cpus() > 1)
+               ah->ah_config.serialize_regmode = SER_REG_MODE_AUTO;

ERROR: code indent should use tabs where possible
#133: FILE: drivers/net/wireless/ath9k/hw.c:390:
+               ah->ah_config.serialize_regmode = SER_REG_MODE_AUTO;$

Apart from this, the logic looks good. 

ACK.
