First I would use the full hostapd configuration which I just added to
the wiki:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k/configuration#Full_hostapd_configuration

Next I would disable all possible debug features from kernel and make
sure that they are not included in the build. And last try to find a
free channel with little interference as possible.

I'm sure others have better ideas.
