Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:

or in the git tree and branch at:

Compiled and booted fine. wifi died:

ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: could not init core (-110)
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: could not probe fw (-110)

This is regression from 5.8.9 and 5.9-rc5 works just fine.

I will try to bisect later this evening to see if I can isolate the
commit.


The following commit is what caused ath10k_pci driver problem
that killed wifi.

firmware_loader: fix memory leak for paged buffer
