this is has become a know issue but less harmful, please try to see if
the workaround of disabling power save helps

iw dev wlanX set power_save off


ok! I have set that on the machine.. will see if I get this message in
the upcoming weeks.
Also, please try this patch with powersave enabled:
http://nbd.name/ps-fix.patch

probably to early to tell if this patch is working or not(since this bug is shows up randomly), but I have applied this to the current Mainline and am so far not seeing the DMA failed to stop
as for any issues: waking up from suspend I get no connection(rmmod/modprobe recovers this) then after a few suspends the connection is real crappy(on and offline).

dmesg with debug gives me this:
