Linux has a useful 3-clause BSD file:
http://sources.debian.net/src/linux/3.16.5-1/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/reg.h/
If we stripped that file of everything except the AR_SREV_REVISION_9*
and AR_SREV_VERSION_9* macros, prefixed the chipset numbers with the
abbreviated name of the manufacturer (AR or QCA), I think we'd have all
that's needed to still compile the FreeBSD driver.
