In particular:

• There's some weird stuff surrounding the EEPROM logic determining when to swap what. The existing code assumes that a Big-Endian system requires swapping the byte order - but the EEPROM contents stored in flash are stored in big endian order already! Tsk.
• There's also a bit of a mess in getting the EEPROM contents out from memory-mapped SPI flash into a private buffer. The linux AR9100 commit(s) mention that accessing it direct can be unreliable.
• The AR9100 support is sprinkled throughout the AR5416/AR9160 support...
• .. and I'm sure there's bits that I've missed in porting it from ath9k ..

I've now made the wireless MAC/PHY work on my AR9132 wireless access point - the TP-LINK TR-WL1043nd.

The wireless bits are below:

ath0: at mem 0x180c0000-0x180effff irq 0 on nexus0
ath0: [ITHREAD]
eepromdata pointer: 0xbfff1000
eeprom: attaching
eeprom: allocating
eeprom: copying the data!
eeprom: endian check
eeprom: swapsies: 0
ath0: AR9100 mac 20.1 RF2133 phy 10.2

It doesn't currently like client mode - it's something to do with the channel changes and aborting some pending queued stuff isn't working. I'll have to go digging at some point soon.

But it works in hostap mode:
