Yeah, to me it looks anything ath10k tries to do with the devie fails,
even resetting the device.

3 seconds is a bit short but in normal cases it should be enough. Of
course we could increase the delay but I'm skeptic it would help here.

Actually we do try to restart the device when a timeout happens in
ath10k_wmi_cmd_send():

if (ret == -EAGAIN) {
ath10k_warn(ar, "wmi command %d timeout, restarting hardware\n",
cmd_id);
queue_work(ar->workqueue, &ar->restart_work);
}
