Having ath9k_htc fw files installed at $(prefix)/ makes it work, but not having them in $(prefix)/ath9k_htc
causes the following:
[ 8.952592] usb 3-2: ath9k_htc: Firmware ath9k_htc/htc_9271-1.4.0.fw requested
[ 8.952652] usb 3-2: Direct firmware load for ath9k_htc/htc_9271-1.4.0.fw failed with error -2
[ 8.952655] usb 3-2: ath9k_htc: Firmware htc_9271.fw requested
Although the firmware works, it throws that (benign) error, that's why linux-firmware installs it in both,
/lib/firmware and /lib/firmware/ath9k_htc, and this patch fixes this by creating a symlink.
