Looking more closely, https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware
generates two firmwares: htc_7010.fw and htc_9271.fw
Both of which are already available in firmware-atheros (albeit under a
non-free license though, it dates back to before the license change
apparently).
So what we actually want is to move them to firmware-free...
