I have encountered this on my openwrt-23.05 target with the following 
setup.

Hardware:
0007:01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc QCNFA765 
Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

Software:

ath11k-firmware-wcn6855 - 20230804-1
kmod-ath11k - 5.15.189-6.1.145-1-1
kmod-ath11k-pci - 5.15.189-6.1.145-1-1
hostapd-common - 2023-09-08-e5ccbfc6-8
hostapd-utils - 2023-09-08-e5ccbfc6-8

Unfortunately, I cannot test my setup on an openwrt-24.10/master branch
because the router is not supported there.I will test WLAN-Modul in
another router running openwrt-24.10 when I have time or check if the
error is also presented with an other WLAN-Modul.

Best Regards

Florian
