On mips routers with ath9k (observed on tplink cpe210, 1043 v3, 703) the current regmon implementation stops the wifi interface from workong properly.
On the mentioned platforms there are no interups for the ath9 hardware triggered. A "cat /proc/interrupts" shows no increase for ath9k, it stop around 6 to 16 interupts. Also a "wifi" does not bring up the wifi.
At a first guess, I think the hrtimer init seems to interfere with the ath9k_init_device().
Need to investigate that issue.
