I hit this on a WCN7860 (hw2.0, PCI) in a Lenovo Legion Tab Y700 Gen 5
(Kaanapali), v7.3-rc4 plus board patches. Here the panic never got past
the notifier:
SMP: stopping secondary CPUs
Voluntary context switch within RCU read-side critical section!
schedule_timeout
__mhi_device_get_sync
ath12k_wifi7_pci_bus_wake_up
ath12k_pci_read32
ath12k_pci_sw_reset
ath12k_pci_panic_handler
atomic_notifier_call_chain
vpanic
A hung_task panic stayed hung until a forced restart, and a sysrq crash
only ended in a reset after about 50 s.
With the handler removed, a sysrq crash reboots normally, and after the
reboot WCN7860 is enumerated again (PCIe Gen3 x2 link up) and Wi-Fi
works.

On Baochen's question, the handler came in with 809055628bce, so:
