Hi, When launching the hostapd application on a i.MX7 based board with an ath10k device connected via SDIO, the following "NOHZ tick-stop error" messages are seen:
# hostapd /etc/wifi.conf Configuration file: /etc/wifi.conf wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->COUNTRY_UPDATE [ 63.021149] NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!

This happens on all kernel versions from 5.10 to 5.13. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
