Hi,

Warm reset was not able to recover from a device
crash so ath10k was falling back to cold reset
which would occasionally hang the system or
generate a data bus error with some device chips.

Warm reset now works a lot more reliably (at least
on my T430). It's able to recover from a "hard"
simulate fw crash and some firmware asserts I've
forced meaning it should recover in most cases
without falling back to the cold reset.

There's still one case of a crash warm reset is
incapable to recover from: IOMMU faults (when
supported and enabled and device tries to access
non-DMA mapped host memory) trigger device crash
and leave CE totally unresponsive before and after
the warm reset.
