Just having a few lines of ath10k printk on the serial console added several 10s of milliseconds to the time it took to associate, and that was throwing off my results. I still wanted to see the messges in 'dmesg', just not on the console. I did not want to hide other WARN level logs from the console, just the ath10k ones.
