We end up performing a few extra wmi exchanges but this is harmless.
Having an extra condition to handle this cleanly with wmi-tlv/qca6174
seems a bit of an overkill.

The warning was just an explicit way of specifying what we expected of
the fw stats exchange logic. The assertion is no longer valid so it
can go away.
