[10.1.467.2-1] No SSID in the air

I have an issue with 10.1.467.2-1 firmware - SSID disappears from the
air within a few hours from the launch of an access-point software.
I'm using OpenWrt 15.05-rc3 as an OS and a QCA9880 v2 based WiFi adapter.

There are repeating messages in the system console:

[324035.117841] ath10k_warn: 50 callbacks suppressed

...

Then I changed firmware to the Candelatech's
firmware-2-ct-full-community.bin (it's beta-15, I think). It's working
for a day, but there's the following output in the console:

However, it's still working.

I'll be glad to get help in regard to this issue.
