This isn't the problem.

The problem is ath9k_htc driver doesn't support dumping survey data.
It doesn't implement .get_survey which implies current ACS
implementation in hostapd will not work.

It is possible to extend hostapd's ACS to support BSS scan only based
backend. This would obviously be less effective than the survey based
one but on the other hand it would work with virtually any driver.
Unfortunately no one has done work on that yet.
