Thank you, it works. Now you can send your patches to
linux-wireless at vger.kernel.org
and
linville at tuxdriver.com

if you have some time and can separate spectral scan to different
debugfs directory to make it universal for both drivers, you'll be my
hero :)
instead of phy0/ath9k/spectral... and phy0/ath9k_htc/spectral...  make
phy0/spectral_scan/scan_*

it will make live for user space programs easier and will make possible
to move debufs part of spectral code to common-sepctral.c
