For EP0 on drivers site:
static int ath9k_hif_usb_download_fw(struct hif_device_usb *hif_dev)
{
        int transfer, err;
        const void *data = hif_dev->fw_data;
        size_t len = hif_dev->fw_size;
        u32 addr = AR9271_FIRMWARE;
        u8 *buf = kzalloc(4096, GFP_KERNEL);
        u32 firm_offset;

        if (!buf)
                return -ENOMEM;

        while (len) {
                transfer = min_t(size_t, len, 4096);
                memcpy(buf, data, transfer);

                err = usb_control_msg(hif_dev->udev,
                                      usb_sndctrlpipe(hif_dev->udev, 0),
                                      FIRMWARE_DOWNLOAD, 0x40 | USB_DIR_OUT,
                                      addr >> 8, 0, buf, transfer, HZ);

=============================================================================



On side of pre installed firmware, the code looks like this:
open-ath9k-htc-firmware/sboot/magpie_1_1/sboot/hif/usb/src/usb_api.c
LOCAL void VendorCommand(void)
{
#define cUSB_REQ_DOWNLOAD          0x30
#define cUSB_REQ_DOWNLOAD_COMP     0x31
#define cUSB_REQ_BOOT              0x32
#define cUSB_REQ_RESERVED_1        0x33
#define cUSB_REQ_RESERVED_2        0x34

#define cUSB_REQ_FLASH_READ        0x35
#define cUSB_REQ_FLASH_READ_COMP   0x36

//#define ZM_FIRMWARE_ADDR           0x200000

    void (*funcPtr)(void);
    uint16_t *text_addr = 0;
    uint32_t ep0_data = 0x0;
...

It is EP3/EP4 and it is not working without firmware.
Here is one example how you can add new command to firmware:
https://github.com/olerem/open-ath9k-htc-firmware/commit/c73c159303e30a28e2d3dc05ba0d2d15504e5fad


And for kernel driver:

[ath9k-devel] ath9k_htc firmware

[bruce m beach]

Hello All

 I am still working on cleaning up ath9k_htc firmware build tree for about 6
months now ( and looks like I'll be doing this for all eternity**2 ) and am
not clear myself what I'm looking for right now.

I'm looking for some kind of simple request in the ath9k_htc driver, through
the usb ep0, like a memory read on the card, where a urb is sent with
the resulting chain of events. The simpler the better. The simplest.

Bruce
