See if that's reliable. For QCA9880 I know it needed a full
reacharound sometimes (ie, the reference driver has hooks to reach

It's possible. I am just always wary about their host glue in the chip
:-) If reloading the driver helps then great. But all that /should/ be
dong is a cold reset / wakeup..
