I still see a crash, immediately after the first rmmod:

Nov 22 11:05:47 nuc2  [  139.378719] rmmod ath11k_pci
Nov 22 11:05:48 nuc2  [  139.892395] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc000000003e: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC KASAN
Nov 22 11:05:48 nuc2  [  139.892453] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x00000000000001f0-0x00000000000001f7]

Really odd that you don't see it. Unfortunately not able to debug this
further right now.

This is with:

wcn6855 hw2.0 WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.9
