I don't think he's using cooked monitor. Instead his AP interface was
in a bridge which means it was promiscuous which means ath10k used
monitor vdev. That's perfectly normal.

Warnings I was concerned about are actually a result of recovery
procedure itself and do not seem to be related to the crash root
cause.
