So just to make sure I understand you correctly, you'd like to see if the problem with ath11k driver on my hardware persists when I boot pristine 5.10-rc2 kernel (without reverting commit 7fef431be9c9ac255838a9578331567b9dba4477) and with page_alloc.shuffle=1, right?
Right, but as lists are randomized then it might take a couple of tries to reproduce. I‘ll have a look at the driver code / failing path on Monday, when back to work.
I have done 5 boots of pristine 5.10-rc2 with page_alloc.shuffle=1. Out of those: 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th resulted in
working ath11k driver, logs were the same as with the commit 7fef431be9c9ac255838a9578331567b9dba4477 reverted. The 3rd
one failed, but in a different way, I just had no output from the driver after initialization lines:

I had this before and usually it was fixed after rebooting into Windows and back. This time I just went and rebooted
into Linux again and driver was working on that boot (4th).
I'm sorry, but "WARNING: ath11k PCI support is experimental!" and such
occasional issues don't give me the best feeling that everything is
operating as it should :)
After that I removed page_alloc.shuffle=1 and did 2 additional boots, both of them resulted in a non-working driver with
the error messages about not being able to talk to firmware like I had before on the clean 5.10-rc2:

Okay, that means that you should be able to reproduce
pre-7fef431be9c9ac255838a9578331567b9dba4477 with page_alloc.shuffle=1
as well ... it just might take a lot of tries to get a problematic page.
I could also imagine that loading the driver deferred, after quite some
system/mm activity could result in the same issue.
Looks like something either cannot handle a specific address we received
via dma_alloc_coherent(), or something is reading out of bounds, and the
content after our allocated page doesn't have the expected value anymore
(e.g., used to be zero, now no longer zero).
What puzzles me is that "err: 0". That should have been properly set by
HW, no?
