There isn't much more info to give you. The problem is that the device
at 5:00.0 attempted to read at fd99f000 even though it didn't have
permissions. In response this should trigger a PCI Master Abort
message to that function. It looks like the firmware for the device
doesn't handle that and so that is likely why things got hung.

Really you would need to interrogate the ath10k_pci to see if there
is/was a mapping somewhere for that address and what it was supposed
to be used for.
