Year I hear you, so there are two things I think we can do in the long run to bring in mac80211 helpers together. The first one is to remove the ath9k wiphy. The second is to use a threaded ISR and change our bottom halves to use a workqueue instead of a tasklet so we can also sleep during our work. I think these two things should enable us to start sharing some callbacks. But ath9k virtual wiphy seems to provide some functionality we don't yet have in mac80211/cfg80211 centrally but we could work on that.
