Calling napi_disable() twice can lead to hangs, but moving NAPI from
start/stop to
the probe isn't the right approach as the datapath is tied to start/stop.

Maybe check the state of NAPI before disable?

 if (test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &ar->napi.napi.state))
  napi_disable(&ar->napi)

or maintain napi_state like this https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10249365/

Also, the most common cause for such issues (1st
napi_synchronize/napi_disable hang)
is that napi_poll is being scheduled, so, you might want to check that
napi_schedule isn't
called after stop.

cd ath10k; git log --grep=napi shows plenty of such issues. the one
that matches closest is
c2cac2f74ab4bcf0db0dcf3a612f1e5b52d145c8, so, it could just be a regression.
