Note the:

[    7.704403] ath10k: failed to receive control response completion, polling..

This suggests interrupts aren't delivered to the host system for some
reason although firmware is operational (control response itself was
delivered to the host).

This particular warning was introduced as part of a workaround for a
virtual machine PCI passthrough (with the suspicion iomem writes
aren't propagated properly in the VM). However only control response
was the subject of the missing interrupt. In your case subsequent
communication is missing interrupts.

Can you check if the interrupt line is shared with any other devices, please:

  lspci -vv | grep -e '..:..\..' -e IRQ
  cat /proc/interrupts

I assume you have only 1 mini-pcie slot on the board and you've used
it when testing both intel and ath devices or does it have more than 1
slot and you've used different slots when testing both devices?
