You caught me just as I was signing off yesterday evening, but just to
confirm that you are now fairly certain that none of the 3 patches I
was involved with[*] are related to your problems.  If that's wrong
and there's an action I need to take on the patches then let me know!
:-)

[*] The three patches I was involved with:

ath10k: Add interrupt summary based CE processing
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11628299/

ath10k: Keep track of which interrupts fired, don't poll them
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11654631/

ath10k: Get rid of "per_ce_irq" hw param
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11654633/
