I originally added this when I was testing .11r associating timing.  Just
having a few lines of ath10k printk on the serial console added several 10s
of milliseconds to the time it took to associate, and that was throwing off my
results.  I still wanted to see the messges in 'dmesg', just not on the console.

I did not want to hide other WARN level logs from the console, just the ath10k
ones.

Thanks,
Ben
