Now I have tested another card ath10k card QCNFA435 (QCA9377 168c:0042)
and after link retraining it cause Synchronous external abort and AER
Uncorrected Non-Fatal error when trying to load ath10k_pci.ko driver.

Adding this card into this quirk list fixes above issues for this card
too. I will send a V3 patch with 168c:0042 in quirk list.
