And how exactly does this improve readability? Don't get me wrong, I
generally like to see more cleanups merged to the ath/ath9k drivers
(they do need it, after all).

But in my opinion, simple renaming churn like this does nothing but
annoy people who want to get other work done at the same time.
Consider the large number of lines touched (and the potential merge
conflicts with other code because of that), relative to the microscopic
aesthetic gain (if any).

Instead I'd like to see more cleanups that go beyond trivial function
renames.
