This also seems to fix a regression related to firmware restart. I was
testing simulate_fw_crash on qca6174 with current ath.git master branch
and noticed firmware crash recovery fails every time:

[   90.402204] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: device is wedged, will not restart

With this patch the recovery works every time I tested this. But I'm not
100% sure yet about this, need to test more.

I'll add '# v4.10' because that should be first release which had
ebee76f7fa46, no need to backport to older releases.
