adds a udelay(10000) call to the ath9k driver.  This will cause a
build error on various ARM configs because the value passed to udelay
is too large:

ERROR: "__bad_udelay" [drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_hw.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2

Is the 10000 microsecond udelay really required?  I believe the limit
on ARM is 2000.  Perhaps something else could be done in this case?
The delay is a workaround for a HW issue. Does this patch fix the problem ?
It fixes the build error, yes.  I don't have actual HW to test, but
the driver compiles on ARM now with the same config as before.
Thanks!
