ATHEROS_AR231X and the things depending on it, like AHB bus support,
have been discussed for three years now. When will you (re)consider a
patch to remove all currently dead code?

And to state the obvious: AHB bus support, and the other code depending
on ATHEROS_AR231X, can always be re-added once ATHEROS_AR231X gets added
to the tree.
