ath10k crash due to bad memory access in 4.7

I am seeing this in my 4.7 kernel while debugging QCA 9884 firmware that is crashing very often. Looks like this must exacerbate some race condition, as ar->txqs appears to have entries in it that have been deleted already.

Just in case someone has already worked on this, please let me know. I'll keep hacking on the problem in the meantime...

(gdb) l *(ath10k_mac_tx_push_pending+0x143)
0x147e3 is in ath10k_mac_tx_push_pending (/home/greearb/git/linux-4.7.dev.y/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/mac.c:4230).
4225 return true;
4226
4227 if (ar->htt.num_pending_tx < ar->htt.tx_q_state.num_push_allowed)
4228 return true;
4229
4230 if (artxq->num_fw_queued < artxq->num_push_allowed)
4231 return true;
4232
4233 return false;
4234 }
