Okay, any idea about that issue?

Okay, but also that we have seen on 88W8997 at least on Verdin iMX8M Plus before. Looking at such logs more
closely, however, this seems after the firmware crashed and Linux tried to re-start it:
[ 4252.250242] mmc0: card 0001 removed
[ 4252.364265] mmc0: new ultra high speed SDR104 SDIO card at address 0001
[ 4252.374466] Bluetooth: vendor=0x2df, device=0x9142, class=255, fn=2
[ 4252.374475] mwifiex_sdio mmc0:0001:1: WLAN FW already running! Skip FW dnld
[ 4252.387774] mwifiex_sdio mmc0:0001:1: WLAN FW is active
[ 4252.394716] btmrvl_sdio mmc0:0001:2: sdio device tree data not available
[ 4257.569620] Bluetooth: module_cfg_cmd(f1) failed
[ 4262.433941] mwifiex_sdio mmc0:0001:1: mwifiex_cmd_timeout_func: Timeout cmd id = 0xa9, act = 0x0
Basically, once the firmware crashed there is no way ever to recover...
