[snipped] Everything working as expected here, so this patch (v3) is also Tested-by: Rui Salvaterra <rsalvaterra@gmail.com> Thanks, Rui

Wouldn't it be better to split off this driver from the 802.11 link state handling?

You may want to send some follow-up patches if you have hardware to experiment with. One consideration does leap out, which is that in my experience wifi cards use a lot less power when they're set "down", as though a decent amount of hardware is being switched off. I think this ath9k rng call might be using the ADC to gather samples of ether from somewhere. I imagine this gets shutdown too as part of that dame circuitry.

Hardware random number generators are supposed to use the hw_random framework. This commit turns ath9k's kthread-based design into a proper hw_random driver.
