Interesting approach, instead of having two modules you linked lib.o
twice to two separate modules, ath9k.ko and ath9k_htc.ko. While this
does reduce module proliferation is there any advantage to that over
the approach of stuffing these into one common module shared between
both?

The benefit of doing it as a module is if both are built-in you reduce
the final kernel size. On my box with debugging this is 256 KB.
