The { should be on new line.

I didn't see any uses of this in your patchset (it's commented out in
21/21) and I'm not fully convinced it's a good idea to override
debug_mask like that. Once I set a debug_mask I expect it to stay
unchanged. What if I do want to trace what happens after fw crash?
Wouldn't it be better to have a knob to tell ath10k whether hw
recovery should be automatic or manual?
