We see this kernel splat when using 'flent' TCP download test on
a QCA99XX wave-2 NIC. Seems easy to reproduce at least on our test rig.
Significantly patched ath10k, should be near linux.ath plus a bit. 4.4.6+ kernel.
Probably I can make this go away by fixing the firmware crash (which I have not
looked at yet), but a firmware crash is still not a good reason to crash the kernel...
I'll poke at this some more when I get a chance, but if someone has ideas,
please let me know.
