This is fine for platform which doesn't provide power supply during 
suspend.
But NUC has power supply in suspend state.
QCA6390 on NUC works after just reverting this commit also proves NUC 
has power supply in
suspend state.

The reason is MHI-STATUS register can't be read somehow in M3 state on 
NUC.
Does the MHI spec state that MHI-STATUS register can be read in M3 
state?
