Hmm. I just noticed another issue on my laptop: I get an absolute *flood* of

  warning: 'ThreadPoolForeg' uses wireless extensions that are
deprecated for modern drivers: use nl80211

introduced in commit dc09766c755c ("wifi: wireless: warn on most
wireless extension usage").

This is on my xps13 with Atheros QCA6174 wireless ("Killer 1435
Wireless-AC", PCI ID 168c:003e, subsystem 1a56:143a).

And yes, it uses 'pr_warn_ratelimited()', but the ratelimiting is a
joke. That means that I "only" get five warnings a second, and then it
pauses for a minute or two until it does it again.

So that warning needs to go away - it flushed the whole kernel printk
buffer in no time.
