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.
