I can confirm that the patch in #77 is working in a kernel 5.3.15 on Devuan Beowulf (https://devuan.org). The kernel is taken from a Devuan Ceres (equivalent for Sid) repository.

The issue (a broken Bluetooth device and my Atheros ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0 running firmware RM.4.4.1.c2-00057-QCARMSWP-1 also broken, beyond reboot, on a Dell XPS 13 9380) was driving me nuts.

The usual scenario for me was disconnecting a BT device on site A, disconnecting the ethernet connection, going to deep sleep (suspend), resuming at site B with Wifi connectivity; 1 out of 3 times, this resulted in e.g. in the syslog:

ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: firmware crashed! (guid ...)
Followed by a slew of other ath10k messages...

I am reporting here because others might be going nuts too.

Currently, I have not seen this issue for 2 days; this is not 100% guarantee yet, but seeing the frequency of occurrence drop dramatically is already encouraging.

So on a 5.3.15 Kernel this patch was NOT yet integrated.

Thanks for the patch Kai-Heng!
