You're right. I have totally missed this. What is strange is that my
compiler (ARM linaro) seems to optimize the code in a way that removes
the tx_credits_per_max_message value.

If I add a printk in ath10k_htc_connect_service (printing the value) I
get a similar oops.

I think it has to do with the fact the this value isn't really used at
all. grepping the code reveals that tx_credits_per_max_message is only
used inside ath10k_htc_connect_service (only written, never read).

Removing it doesn't seem to break anything, so perhaps it should be removed?

Or is there something I have missed?
