Anything received after that time might be too late.
The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:

Compiled and booted fine. wifi died:
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: could not init core (-110)
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: could not probe fw (-110)
This is regression from 5.8.9 and 5.9-rc5 works just fine.
I will try to bisect later this evening to see if I can isolate the
commit.
The following commit is what caused ath10k_pci driver problem
that killed wifi.

firmware_loader: fix memory leak for paged buffer
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git/commit/?h=linux-5.8.y&id=ec0a59266c9c9f46037efd3dcc0323973e102271
Ugh, that's not good, is this also a problem in 5.9-rc5 as well? For
reference, this is commit 4965b8cd1bc1 ("firmware_loader: fix memory
leak for paged buffer") in Linus's tree.
I am not seeing this on Linux 5.9-rc5 for sure.
And it should be showing up in 5.4.y at the moment too, as this patch is
in that tree right now...
I don't see this patch in 4.19.146-rc1
It's not there, it's in 5.4.66-rc1, which worked for you somehow, right?
Linus's tree works for with this patch in. I compared the two files
for differences in commit between Linus's tree and 5.8.10-rc1
Couldn't find anything obvious.
Again, really odd...
I don't have a problem dropping it, but I should drop it from both 5.4.y
and 5.8.y, right?
Sorry. Yes. Dropping from 5.8 and 5.4 would be great until we figure out
why this patch causes problems.
I will continue debugging and let you know what I find.
With this it boots and wifi is good for me. I am very puzzled by why
this made a difference to make sure I am not narrowing in on the wrong
patch.
Compiled and booted on my test system. No dmesg regressions.
