My (very) quick attempt ('echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/.../reset) at

connection needs to be active.

This is doing PCIe function level reset. Maybe you can get more luck
with PCIe Hot Reset. See following link how to trigger PCIe Hot Reset
from userspace: https://alexforencich.com/wiki/en/pcie/hot-reset-linux

Thanks for that link! That does indeed do something which breaks the
adapter. Running the script produces

again. Performing a function level reset produces

  [  402.489572] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: mwifiex_pcie_reset_prepare: adapter structure is not valid
  [  403.514219] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: mwifiex_pcie_reset_done: adapter structure is not valid

and doesn't help either.

Running the same command on a kernel with (among other) this patch
unfortunately also breaks the adapter in the same way. As far as I can
tell though, it doesn't run through the reset code added by this patch
(as indicated by the log message when performing FLR), which I assume
in a non-forced scenario, e.g. firmware issues (which IIRC is why this
patch exists), it would?

Unfortunately I can't test that with a
network connection (and without compiling a custom kernel for which I
don't have the time right now) because there's currently another bug
deadlocking on device removal if there's an active connection during
removal (which also seems to trigger on reset). That one ill be fixed
by

Jonas might know more.
