These Notice files seem problematic.  They're clearly well intended,
but they have language that alludes to an agreement with Atheros and a
confidential nature to some of the files.  Specifically:

"...your use of these software
components together with the Qualcomm Atheros software (Qualcomm
Atheros software hereinafter referred to as “Software”) is
subject to the terms of your agreement from Qualcomm Atheros."

Nobody has an opportunity to agree to anything with Atheros when they
consume the files from linux-firmware.  There's also no explicit grant
of redistribution for any of these files.

Also:

"/*
 * Copyright (c) 2011 Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
 * 2011 Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.
 * All Rights Reserved.
 * Confidential and Proprietary - Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
 * Notifications and licenses are retained for attribution purposes only.
 */
"

Several of those are followed by "For this file....  has selected the
BSD license"  but it's unclear what file that's referring to.

I'm not comfortable pulling this with the licenses in an ambiguous
state.  Can you work with your team to clarify the text?
