Hello,

I managed to reproduce this problem again...ath10k-ct crapped out while trying to
recover from a crash, and then mac80211 gives up.

AP needs to be rebooted at this point since it has lost at least one radio,
and no sane way in software to attempt to recover.

Johannes:  What do you think about adding a sysfs file to note the radio
is in this state?  Then a watch-dog program can notice and take appropriate
action?

Thanks,
Ben
