I'll just point out that cat /proc/modules was added as an
afterthought in case (a) failed, so if (a) succeeds, you don't
need to do (b). There's always a chance, when removing modules,
that one is busy, or another has to be removed at the same time
as the one, because it's a dependent.
Also, now that the firmware is in place, if you repeat those steps,
you're /likely/ to find that ath10k_pci is busy, because the link
will be configured automatically in the first few seconds after
booting up.
Cheers,
David.
