Yeah, the device_dump is also a problematic one on Surface devices. It's reported that if_ops.device_dump() will cause lockups [1] (e.g. prevent system power off) I also confirmed that by 1. adding debugfs entry for calling that function 2. and called the function via debugfs (echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/mwifiex/mlan0/device_dump) Sometimes I can get the device_dump log, sometimes I can't and it prevents system power off. I will post the patch which adds the debugfs entry to the next comment. I will post the dump log (along with the dmesg log) as soon as I manage to get the logs after wifi malfunctioning. By the way, the user manual on drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/README describes that device_dump can be obtained by `cat fw_dump` but the debugfs entry does not exist anymore.
