No comma in the title, please.
What tree did you use as the baseline? This doesn't seem to apply to
ath.git:
Applying: ath10k: cache calibration data when the core is stopped.
fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless
(drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.c).
Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge.
Cannot fall back to three-way merge.
Patch failed at 0001 ath10k: cache calibration data when the core is stopped.

I think this function should be in debug.c. That way the code is not
wasting memory if DEBUGFS is disabled.

Is it really necessary to allocate memory every time? What if allocate
it only once when module is loaded, just like with
ar->debug.fw_crash_data?
Also please note that this patch (which I'm queuing to 4.9) touches the
same area:

We try to avoid using else branches so that only error handling is
indented and the main code flow is not.

Indentation looks wrongs here.

I like the idea that the calibration data is copied during stop(), but
can you do this from debug.c? For example, add ath10k_debug_stop() and
call it from there? I don't think any of this should be in core.c.
