Firmware (firmware-2-ct-non-commercial-full-13.bin) and ath10k_pci crash

Hi,

after setting up ath10k with hostapd I only get a few minutes in
working state before the system crashes -- every time.
I tried different firmwares, they all seem to crash. I updated to a
newer kernel, which delays the crash a little bit. I have already seen
that other people with Intel Atom processors (which mine uses) had
trouble, however I am not sure if both are based on the same error
message.

Any hints are appreciated. I currently use the system only for setting
up wifi, so I could run tests if required.

Thanks!

Jeremias
