Hi Kalle,

In light of https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220216113323.53332-1-Jason@zx2c4.com/
I'm going to drop the ath9k part of this patch here (and your Ack
along with it), so that there's no chance of merge conflict. It turns
out that the header that this patch added isn't 100% required because
it includes "hw.h" which includes <linux/if_ether.h> which includes
<linux/skbuff.h> which includes <linux/net.h> which includes
<linux/random.h>. So at least if there are a few commits between my
change going in and the driver rewrite from that other patch, the
build won't break.

Jason
