ath10k firmware crash after 4 hours of heavy TCP traffic

Can someone help me decode this firmware crash so I know where to
look?  It's possible I have more memory barrier type problems, as I
did before, but it's very hard to figure these out without the
firmware printing more helpful error messages.

Unfortunately there were no interesting messages in the kernel logs
leading up to this.  hostapd said TX_STATUS received, as usual, about
2 seconds earlier.

In this test, we had three stations connected to the ath10k AP for
about 4 hours, with heavy TCP traffic in both directions.  This is
with ath10k-stable-3.11.8.
