Please state clearly that this fixes a compiler error found by kbuild.
Also it's very much recommended to add the actual compiler error to the
commit log:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_htc.o:(.data+0x47c): multiple definition of `led_blink'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.o:(.bss+0x20): first defined here
