Hi Florian,

You will have to give this instance an unique name because there can be
multiple ath9k adapters registered in a given system (like Wi-Fi
routers), and one of the first thing hwrng_register() does is ensure
that there is not an existing rng with the same name.

Maybe using a combination of ath9k + dev_name() ought to be unique enough?
Good point. Will do. dev_name() probably won't cut it because of
namespaces, but I can always just attach a counter. Will do that for
v3.
