[PATCH 2/2] ath10k: retry warm reset a few times

[Michal Kazior]

Sometimes warm reset works upon retry. It might be
related to imperfect warm reset routine, but for
now let's just do the retries.

This should improve the reliability of some chips
that hang/crash with cold reset which is used as a
last resort if warm reset fails.
