This is a known bug and unfortunately we cannot fix it anymore since
it's a pretty old HW and we don't really have the time to debug it.

For reference, this is the bugzilla entry:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190281

>From your dmesg, it seems that we are trying to cancel an ongoing scan
before going to suspend and that fails and causes the suspend process
to abort.  This explains why it only happens sporadically -- i.e. a
scan must be running when you suspend.

If you're feeling adventurous, you could try to check the code that
sends the scan cancellation request when entering suspend and remove
that or move it earlier somehow.  You don't seem to be using WoWLAN, so
not canceling the scan shouldn't hurt because the FW will be stopped
and started again anyway.

Good luck!
