Please find the output of `dmesg` with two firmware crashes attached. Looking through my
logs since September 20th with Linux 6.11-rcX, this is not the first firmware crash. The
`guid` value differs pairwaise between each of them.
Since my message in December I found two more crashes in the logs:

Baochen, do you have an idea? Also how to fix the dump errors?
could you share AP model? and any specific test steps you hit it?
Sorry, I do not know the AP model. It was at a university network. After
sending my email it also happened with a FRITZ!Box 7590. It all was the
same boot cycle and over 70 ACPI S3 suspend/resume cycles happened.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to reproduce it. I was browsing and had
some SSH sessions running. I also did some bandwidth tests by
downloading some files, and sometimes it went up to 30 MB/s.
wget -O /dev/null
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/flightgear-data/flightgear-data-base_2020.3.19+dfsg-1_all.deb
But I do *not* know, when the hang happened, and if it is related at
all. The crash with the FRITZ!Box did also not involve any large
downloads during his time.
So, I unfortunately, do not know how to reproduce it.
I was hoping the firmware dump could shed more light on it, and ease
debugging on your and my end.
regarding the dump error, I think it is due to unresponsive firmware since it crashes.
We'd better focus on the crash first.
Jamie (Cc:) also reported this this January 2025 *Ath10k firmware crash* [1].
Kind regards,
Paul
