FYI, I have the same hardware, but with the BIOS updated to v2.0.0.

No issues whatsoever with ath11k on either the ath11k-qca6390-bringup-202012140938
branch or plain v5.11.0 kernel.

But, and it's a big but, suspend is really broken: I cannot enter S0ix, and
sometimes I found the laptop completly frozen in the morning (maybe it did
finally enter s2idle and has trouble exiting ?).

I don't know if this is related to the ath11k driver, some other driver or
the new BIOS version.

There are probably multiple issues, the first of which is the one Justin
reported (unable to go to sleep when ath11k is loaded). I suggest you
look into this BEFORE updating the BIOS...

I have a bug on kernel bugzilla wrt to the S0ix issue:
