I'm not really convinced that this is the right fix, but I'm no NAPI
expert. Can anyone else help?
Calling napi_disable() twice can lead to hangs, but moving NAPI from
start/stop to
the probe isn't the right approach as the datapath is tied to start/stop.

Maybe check the state of NAPI before disable?

 if (test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &ar->napi.napi.state))
  napi_disable(&ar->napi)
or maintain napi_state like this https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10249365/
it is better to use above link's patch.
napi.state is controlled by napi API, it is better ath10k not know it.

Also, the most common cause for such issues (1st
napi_synchronize/napi_disable hang)
is that napi_poll is being scheduled, so, you might want to check that
napi_schedule isn't
called after stop.

cd ath10k; git log --grep=napi shows plenty of such issues. the one
that matches closest is
c2cac2f74ab4bcf0db0dcf3a612f1e5b52d145c8, so, it could just be a regression.
This above commit's scene is not same with this patch.
It is hang for only do 1 simulate crash of the commit, this patch is doing simulate crash and rmmod meanwhile.
