This happens because the host sends WMI commands to the\nfirmware while it is in recovery, causing the commands to fail and\nresulting in the kernel call trace.\n\nSet the ATH12K_FLAG_CRASH_FLUSH and ATH12K_FLAG_RECOVERY flags when the\nhost driver receives the firmware crash notification from MHI. This\nprevents sending WMI commands to the firmware during recovery.\n\nCall Trace:\n <TASK>\n dump_stack_lvl+0x75/0xc0\n register_lock_class+0x6be/0x7a0\n ? __lock_acquire+0x644/0x19a0\n __lock_acquire+0x95/0x19a0\n lock_acquire+0x265/0x310\n ?
