This dev_flags currently used to mark some status, like the cradh, CAC running, 
The BTcoex feature is more likely a HW feature,  there are seems different set. 

Maybe a separately hw_feature_flag is needed as there are some other HW feature 
That we want to enable/disable from user space.

The restart process will judge by itself whether the device is on or not, and print below warning in that case:

[797424.496190] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: cannot restart a device that hasn't been started

Thanks and agree, I will send the 2v as there are some other tiny change at my side.
