ath9k and ath6kl are very different devices, I'm not sure if sharing a
platfrom struct between the two is really a good idea. Most likely there
is very little the two drivers can share. What are your plans here?

I myself was thinking that we would have include/linux/ath6kl.h
dedicated just for ath6kl. That would makes things simpler.
