Might want to turn off verbose debug as soon as you
see a firmware crash, for instance.  Helps keep dmesg
output from over-running the stuff you care about.

I didn't see any uses of this in your patchset (it's commented out in
21/21) and I'm not fully convinced it's a good idea to override
debug_mask like that. Once I set a debug_mask I expect it to stay
unchanged. What if I do want to trace what happens after fw crash?

Wouldn't it be better to have a knob to tell ath10k whether hw
recovery should be automatic or manual?

Hmm, I have a later patch that allows twiddling this through debugfs,
that is what I meant to add to this series.  I'll find that one and squash
it into this one.

Thanks,
Ben
