Leon,

Your patch is correct, but your subject and commit message needs a little work.

When I add a new USB ID for a driver, my subject usually includes the driver 
name followed by a colon, and the "Add new USB ID". In your case, that would be 
"[PATCH] ath9k_htc: Add new USB ID". Then in the commit message I include the 
make and model of the device, and some indication of why that device ID should 
be added. For example, was that ID found in a Windows driver? Finally, indicate 
that the patch has been tested. Such a statement should not be necessary, but 
recently there have been a number of patches submitted that have not been tested 
on real hardware.

Larry
