Committed, thanks.

Existing blobs are of version ath9k-htc 1.3.1, see http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=21a6c3e55df956dd223279627685778268ede70f These are as said in the commit are left for compatibility with older kernels which [older kernels] will look for blobs in the root of "/lib/firmware". But there're newer v1.4 blobs in ath9k_htc folder. And newer kernels (>=4.4) look first in that new location "/lib/firmware/ath9k_htc". Note that even new kernels will fall back to previous location if new one doesn't exist. Tested with TP-LINK TL-WN722N (has Atheros AR9271 inside).
