linux-firmware: update Atheros firmware license
This makes the license Operating System agnostic and updates the patent license grant for use of the firmware license specifically on the Atheros chipsets. This allows us to share the same license between all Atheros chipsets, ath9k, ath9k_htc, ath6kl, and future chipsets.
