The bug is quite rare, and I don't know how to reproduce it on purpose. It just happens once in several days
and it happened with different APs. 

Perhaps you could think of some debug patch that could help to understand what's going on? I could carry it and will
report if warning hits again. 

FYI I applied small debug patch bellow, just to understand where exactly we bail out with too big quota.

It gave me this:

[118648.825347] #1 quota too big 72 64 16
[118648.825351] #2 quota too big 72 64 16

So this means that we didn't met the condition bellow, i.e. skb_queue_empty() returned true.

	ath10k_htt_txrx_compl_task():

		if ((quota > ATH10K_NAPI_QUOTA_LIMIT) &&
		    !skb_queue_empty(&htt->rx_in_ord_compl_q)) {
			resched_napi = true;
			goto exit;
		}

Will try.
