If you check out the code you'll see i'm using the same convention
inside them, ath5k_hw* files contain hw related functions
(ath5k_hw_<name>) while driver code has ath5k_<name>. Also ath5k_init
is misleading, file acually includes initial register settings for
various chips and the functions to apply them on hw, not the
initialization/attach/wakeup etc routines (that can be found  in
ath5k_hw.c), that's why it's inivals, i couldn't find a more
appropriate name.
