Reason is mhi_deassert_dev_wake() from mhi_device_put() is called but mhi_assert_dev_wake() from __mhi_device_get_sync() is not called in progress of recovery. Commit 8e0559921f9a ("bus: mhi: core: Skip device wake in error or shutdown state") add check for the pm_state of mhi in __mhi_device_get_sync(), and the pm_state is not the normal state untill recovery is completed, so it leads the dev_wake is not 0 and above warning print in mhi_pm_disable_transition() while checking mhi_cntrl->dev_wake.

Add check in ath11k_pci_write32()/ath11k_pci_read32() to skip call mhi_device_put() if mhi_device_get_sync() does not really do wake, then the warning gone.
