No pointers but IIRC it was something related to MHI creating a struct
device in an invalid context and MHI fails because of that. Maybe it was
so that when mac80211 calls ath11k_mac_op_start() during resume, ath11k
called MHI to enable power on the device and MHI tries to create a
struct device at the same time, or something like that. This was a long
time ago so not sure.
