1.4 seems to be pretty new:
commit 216de39deef589d1a233abb2037d765aebbf4151
Author: Adrian Chadd <adrian@freebsd.org>

Add v1.4.0 firmware for ath9k_htc.
I don't think it's good practise to make ath9k_htc break with older
firmware versions so quickly, especially if there's no technical reason.
The best would be to wait few months (maybe six?) before forcing the new
version, that way user space has time to catch up.
Maybe for now you could add a warning about using old firmware version?
