The best way is to collect all the patches together and use git-am(1).
You need the raw patches, and I'm not sure if you can get them from the
ath5k-devel list archive, but as these were cross-posted to linux-wireless,
you can get them from http://marc.info (use the "download message raw"
link).  You generally need the entire series, all 7 patches in this case.
As a last resort, you can ask the patch author to forward you a copy.

Once you have all the patches, you can apply them individually with
git-am, or as a group if you have them in mbox format.  See its manpage
for details.

The usual alternative is "patch -p1 < foo.patch" but it won't create
git commits for you.

The patches should go in pretty soon, the only thing objected to was the
over 80 col changelog.

It is common etiquette on Linux kernel-related mailing lists to simply do
reply-all -- especially on lkml where most people do not subscribe.
