This reverts commit 55884c045d31a29cf69db8332d1064a1b61dd159.

When Ath10k is in AP mode and an unassociated STA sends a VHT action frame
(Operating Mode Notification for the NSS change) periodically to AP this causes
ath10k to call ath10k_station_assoc() which sends WMI_PEER_ASSOC_CMDID during
NSS update. Over the time (with a certain client it can happen within 15 mins
when there are over 500 of these VHT action frames) continuous calls of
WMI_PEER_ASSOC_CMDID cause firmware to assert due to resource exhaust.

Can you share exactly which resource the firmware ran out of?  It would seem to
be a FW bug if it is leaking, so maybe it can be fixed as well...

Thanks,
Ben
