I certainly wouldn't mind merging this support if it can be implemented
in a clean way; we'd have to be sure it doesn't break anything on
existing devices, of course.

You'll have to split out the code to co-exist with the ar9003. My
immediate thought would be that it would be a mistake to employ too
clever tricks to maximise code reuse. By all means, try to reuse as much
code as possible, but I'd rather take a bit of code duplication than end
up with something that works in non-obvious ways :)

Hope that helps!
