I would call this a bug in the WiFi driver.

I think we need to walk down the PCIe hierarchy to see if it is safe to
disable the PCIe regulator. When all devices in the hierarchy are in
D3hot state, we can safely put the whole hierarchy into D3cold by
removing power. When any of the devices connected to the  RC are in a
state other than D3hot, we need to keep the regulator enabled, as those
devices may need power in suspend to implement wakeups or other
functionality that should be available during suspend.

Regards,
Lucas
