Yeah, that is the initial problem I found that I wanted to try and patch, but
seeing as it only stands between either always enabling it, or forcing one or
the other bus always on if you choose ath9k I don't know what else could be
done except note in the help that you also need to enable bus support.

I haven't poked around that much with Kconfig but it clearly seems like there
isn't a way to default select y but make it possible to disable it...

So there doesn't seem to be a clear way to automagically include the most
common bus support for ath9k.
