Compile-testing coverage is a fine reason to allow people to compile
both modules.  Ok, I accept that it's a bit of a pain to create separate
modules, but can we at least do it like:

ath5k-$(CONFIG_ATH5K_PCI) += pci.o
ath5k-$(CONFIG_ATH5K_AHB) += ahb.o

and add the appropriate selects and mutual exclusion to the Kconfig?
Of course, that presupposes a Kconfig entry for CONFIG_ATHEROS_AR2316
where there is not one currently.
