I have the same issue with ath10k and kernel 4.13.10.
If I suspend the system when the card is up it won't work anymore
until I rmmod and modprobe ath10k_pci again.
rmmod after suspend can take up to 10 minutes and sometimes crashes the system.
Removing the driver _before_ suspend and inserting it back after
resume actually works and it's what I'm using as not-so-temporary
workaround.
