I think it is okay to have CONFIG_ATH_TRACEPOINTS, which can be used by ath9k/ath9k_htc too. The original motive of ath.ko was to have a common module with debugging facilities that can be shared by Atheros drivers. But, each driver has ended up reinventing things. Since it is mentioned in the help text that ath9k is the only driver making use of ATH_DEBUG/ATH_TRACEPOINTS, I don't think it is confusing.
