That is "normal" - nothing to worry about here.

I think you can't (at least not with the current tffs driver). All it
currently does is printing the mac addresses: [0]
My fritz_tffs_read tool is userspace only. The only downside is that
you currently cannot userspace tools to set the mac address in the
ath9k calibration data. We would need a solution like Christian's
OWL-loader, see [1] (or another TFFS kernel driver).

I think the GPIOs definition is in the wrong place - it has to be per
PHY (thus you should put it into the mdio at 0 section below).

I cannot see any ath9k messages in your kernel log - are you sure it's
being installed (/lib/modules/*/ath9k.ko)?
Your first patch lists kmod-ath9k, but if you added that after you
generated your .config then you're probably still missing it.
Please check "grep kmod-ath9k .config" and enable (set it to
=y/built-in) it if it's missing.
