Patch #1 fixes a bug I've found while testing
patches #2 and #3. It's safe to cherry-pick it in
case patches #2 and/or #3 aren't accepted or need
a re-spin.

I've mainly used patch #2 to test reset and
recovery. It's pretty handy for (stress-)testing.

Patch #3 should improve recovery speed in some
cases. Notably when there's a long chain of WMI
commands involved which take a painfully long time
to timeout/complete if firmware crashes mid-way.

Note: Patches #2 and #3 depend on `ath10k: pci
related fixes 2014-10-09`. Without the patchset
patches #2 and #3 must not be applied. Patch #1 is
fine though.

v2:
 * add additional comments [Kalle]
 * rename new fw crash debugfs sub-command [Kalle]
 * fix crash [Janusz]
