IIUC this fixes an ath11k regression (and probably others).  And
typically when booting a 32-bit kernel with a device with a BAR larger
than 4GB?

Christian, is there any dmesg snippet we could include here to help
users diagnose the problem?  I guess the "can't handle BAR larger than
4GB" message is probably one clue.

Are you able to test this and verify that it fixes the regression you
saw?
