I have been struggling to send offchannels mgmt frames since a while, as
I was always getting:

[18099.253732] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: timed out waiting for offchannel
skb cf0e3780
[18102.293686] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: timed out waiting for offchannel

After digging through the ath10k patchwork I have found this patch which
touches exactly the code I was trying to debug.

After applying this set of changes, I can confirm that sending
offchannel frames works again like a charm.

I have tested only one fw though: ver 10.4-3.5.3-00057.

It's a bummer that this trivial but critical patch is not yet merged
upstream :-(
