One thing I notice, if I simply:  rmmod ath10k_pci ath10k_core; modprobe ath10k_pci
then it recovered (1 of 1 so far).

We'll see if that is a reliable way to recover from this problem.  And, will see if we
can also find a nicer way to go about it...maybe there is just a timer that is not long
enough somewhere?

Thanks,
Ben
