Thanks to Thorsten pointing me there I skipped the bisect and applied this
patch instead and it works.

My laptop is T14s AMD Gen3 with ath11k_pci. Since rc2 the wifi would stop
working on suspend/resume, making the resume freeze for a while (I initially
thought it was frozen completely and was shutting off the laptop).

Interestingly the card doesn't recover after reboot, but only after a full
power off/on cycle. But if the HELLO handshake is sent after a boot,
shouldn't it recover? Maybe the hardware gets too confused to recover.
Dunno. Hm maybe I can try if 7.2 kernel (and/or 7.3 with this patch)
recovers it without poweroff/on after a 7.3 without this patch
suspend/resume wedges it.

But anyway this prevents the suspend/resume issue for me from happening in
the first place on 7.3-rc3, so:
