Several things to note:

1. This is legacy only (no 11n)
2. This is VERY preliminary code; tested only in sta+monitor mode and I 
see complaints about
     BB hangs  (also see them w/ 9160) that likely indicate a bug
3. Tested only w/ a v2 merlin card
4. There is no support for things like open loop power control

Folks can help by comparing code to the linux ath9k driver.  It is 
unlikely I'll be touching this stuff as I have only 1 card and it's 
sitting in an extender so rarely used.

If someone can scrounge me a 9285 part it would be good to get it 
supported too.

Thanks to ixSystems for sending me this card.
