Sorry for long delay, I was moving.
IIRC, the ath9k driver is for PCI/PCIe, where ath9k_htc driver is for USB based devices. So you would have to run it off of a USB hub or adapter, which would be sort of inconvenient for a phone. However, if you really wanted to...
You can still find the latter on AliExpress, eBay, etc. Search for chipsets like AR9271 or AR7010, etc. In Debian (Mobian) you will then need the firmware package firmware-ath9k-htc.
