It's safe to apply:

  ath10k: re-disable interrupts after target init
  ath10k: mask/unmask msi fw irq
  ath10k: split ce pipe init/alloc further

Please, do not apply the following yet:
  ath10k: make warm reset a bit safer and faster (this patch)
  ath10k: split reset logic from power up
  ath10k: don't reset chip on power_down
