There isn't much more info to give you. The problem is that the device at 5:00.0 attempted to read at fd99f000 even though it didn't have permissions. In response this should trigger a PCI Master Abort message to that function. It looks like the firmware for the device doesn't handle that and so that is likely why things got hung. Really you would need to interrogate the ath10k_pci to see if there is/was a mapping somewhere for that address and what it was supposed to be used for. - Alex
