Should not.

Thus, being "Atheros card" and "depending on ath.ko" was the same. To allow module to belong to the "Atheros Wireless cards" family but not use ath.ko, 2 conditions above need to be separated. So, this patch introduce new Kconfig variable ATH_CARDS for belonging to the "Atheros Wireless Cards" family; while ATH_COMMON becomes hidden variable to express dependency on common Atheros code in ath.ko. Modules that depend on this common code now express it by setting ATH_COMMON. Right now, ath6kl do not depend on common code and thus do not set ATH_COMMON.
