This sorta sounds like a driver bug where the queue doesn't get
restarted after the issue is resolved? I'd suggest you email the ath10k
(ath10k@lists.infradead.org - maybe cc linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org
and this list) with a description of the issue that triggers this bug,
as well as system details (hardware model, firmware version and kernel
version).
