Races between async firmware initialization and device removal appears on kernel 4.1.x. Whole scenario leading to the error together with logs is in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196003 Mapping the patch from kernel 4.11.x "mwifiex: resolve races between async FW init (failure) and device removal" solved the problem. In Bugzilla I've also attached patch which I've tested for pcie interface and it works.
