There is a bug in at least 10.1 ath10k firmware where the scan machine
cannot send more than 5 or so probe requests due to running out of firmware
management buffers..  Stock firmware is not smart enough to
wait a bit and send them later.  To reproduce, use a supplicant file like
this (below).  Maybe there is a way to work around it in the driver, but 
probably
better to just fix the firmware...  A quick glance at 10.4 firmware makes
me think the bug is very likely there as well.

Thanks,
Ben
