I wrote a commit log and applied this to pci/virtualization for v5.16
with Pali's reviewed-by and your signed-off-by from

    PCI: Mark Atheros QCA6174 to avoid bus reset
    
    When passing the Atheros QCA6174 through to a virtual machine, the VM hangs
    at the point where the ath10k driver loads.
    
    Add a quirk to avoid bus resets on this device, which avoids the hang.
