I'm not really fond of fixing issues just by luck but after a quick look at the
code I can't see any harm in this change either. So I guess it's ok.

But can you provide the exact hardware and firmware you used for testing, I'll
add it to the commit log. I want to document that in every commit:

Please also CC ath10k list when submitting patches.
