My guess from this is that I'm using the single stage:

# dmesg | grep ar9170
[ 273.608189] usb 2-1: firmware: requesting ar9170.fw
[ 274.019650] Registered led device: ar9170-phy1::tx
[ 274.019698] Registered led device: ar9170-phy1::assoc
[ 274.019751] usbcore: registered new interface driver ar9170usb
