When user enables ATH10K_PKTLOG_DBG_PRINT pktlog filter, then the firmware can send pkts to the CE1 pipe, which has only 512 byte message length. firmware debuglog messages can be larger than that, and so (10.1.467, at least) firmware will crash. If anyone with QCA firmware source rights wants the nasty details, contact me offline. I will try to hack around this in my firmware, but I think this patch needs some more thought and/or fixes.
