Instead of using raw numbers to assign slot time it would be better to
make use of predefined slot time macros
How does this make it better?
Maybe if it was ATH9K_SHORT_SLOT_TIME it would make more sense?
Well, neither the unit of this variable, nor the values that can be used
are ath9k specific.
Felix then I don't know why these macros are used here and I followed the same thing:

htc_drv_beacon.c 242 if (ah->slottime == ATH9K_SLOT_TIME_20)
init.c           517 sc->beacon.slottime = ATH9K_SLOT_TIME_9;
True -- the patch is probably an unnecessarily zealous attempt to avoid
"magic numbers" in the code. :-)
John there are two instances where these macros are used:

htc_drv_beacon.c 242 if (ah->slottime == ATH9K_SLOT_TIME_20)
 init.c           517 sc->beacon.slottime = ATH9K_SLOT_TIME_9;
