It was possible to enter an endless loop while
processing a single pci copy engine pipe. This
could effectively render ath10k incapable of
responding to any requests.
An example case when this could happen is when
firmware generates a lot of events, e.g. spectral
scan phyerr via WMI.

Janusz was testing spectral scan when he found
ath10k would sometimes stop responding while
flooding dmesg with phyerr prints.
There's another bug he found related to scan code
but we still need to test some stuff before I can
post the fix.
