Commit 9af7c32ceca8 ("ath10k: add target IRAM recovery feature support")
introduced a new firmware feature flag ATH10K_FW_FEATURE_IRAM_RECOVERY. But
this caused ath10k_pci module load to fail if ATH10K_FW_CRASH_DUMP_RAM_DATA bit
was not enabled in the ath10k coredump_mask module parameter:

[ 2213.933910] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: could not probe fw (-12)
And by default coredump_mask does not have ATH10K_FW_CRASH_DUMP_RAM_DATA
enabled so anyone using a firmware with iram-recovery feature would fail. To my
knowledge only QCA9984 firmwares starting from release 10.4-3.9.0.2-00099
enabled the feature.
The reason for regression was that ath10k_core_copy_target_iram() used
ath10k_coredump_get_mem_layout() to get the memory layout, but when
ATH10K_FW_CRASH_DUMP_RAM_DATA was disabled it would get just NULL and bail out
with an error.
While looking at all this I noticed another bug: if CONFIG_DEV_COREDUMP is
disabled but the firmware has iram-recovery enabled the module load fails with
similar error messages. I fixed that by returning 0 from
ath10k_core_copy_target_iram() when _ath10k_coredump_get_mem_layout() returns
NULL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
