Yeah, to get iwlwifi to work somewhat nicely you need this revert, and 
also theese on top of 5.4.6:

Subject: iwlwifi: pcie: move power gating workaround earlier in the flow

and atleast v2 of the "iwlwifi: mvm: don't send the 
IWL_MVM_RXQ_NSSN_SYNC notif to Rx queues" patch that is being debated on 
this list.

With theese in place, we seem to have it behaving properly again for 
Mageia users reporting various problems / firmware crashes / ...

Hopefully Intel guys will get this sorted soon-ish and all sent to stable@
