On Dell XPS 13 9310 I see a new warning when testing the pending branch:

[    2.471334] ath11k_pci 0000:72:00.0: chip_id 0x0 chip_family 0xb board_id 0xff soc_id 0xffffffff
[    2.471339] ath11k_pci 0000:72:00.0: fw_version 0x101c06cc fw_build_timestamp 2020-06-24 19:50 fw_build_id

[    2.513436] ath11k_pci 0000:72:00.0: leaving PCI ASPM disabled to avoid MHI M2 problems

I suspect (but not sure!) it comes from this patchset.

Patch set to Changes Requested.
