This crashes my kernel....I instrumented the place that crashed in ath10k/pci.h:

[  100.676013] ath10k-pci-read32: ar ffff88020279ae20  ar_pci ffff88020279df08  offset: 0x2080e0
[  100.676016]   ar_pci->mem: 0xffffc90019c80000
[  100.676031] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc90019e880e0
[  100.681752] IP: [<ffffffff81364ad4>] ioread32+0x9/0x2f

Have you tried this on a 10.1.467 firmware?

And, what kernel?  I'm trying 4.0.4+

Thanks,
Ben
