Yes I did it, here is my configuration:

<M>   Atheros 802.11ac wireless cards support                                                           
  │ │                                 <M>     Atheros ath10k PCI support                                                                     
  │ │                                   [*]     Atheros ath10k debugging                                                                        
  │ │                                   [*]     Atheros ath10k debugfs support                                                                  
  │ │                                   [*]     Atheros ath10k tracing support

Removing the channel from hostapd.conf implies channel=0. And it
obviously is not a valid channel when ACS is disabled. All the options
that iw has can be set in hostapd.conf as well.

Did you build ath10k with ATH10K_DFS_CERTIFIED enabled?
