My first step.

I'm not an expert here, but all modifications the -mm1 patch just remove
the second parameter, so this looks ok to me.

Again a change in the -mm1 patch. When compiling it says:
"warning: implicit declaration of function `pci_dma_sync_single'"
In -mm1 pci_dma_sync_single is replaced by pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu
as far as I can see so I did the same here (it's a #define in
ath/if_ath_pci.h). Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I can't insert
ath_pci and dmesg says:

Any ideas?
