Take a look at the mhi_pci_recovery_work() function below:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/bus/mhi/pci_generic.c#n610

You need to implement something similar that basically powers up the MHI
endpoint (QCA6390) in case pm_resume() fails. At minimum, you need to call
below functions:

# Check if the device is powered on. If yes, then power it down to bring it back
mhi_power_down()
mhi_unprepare_after_power_down()

# Power up the device
mhi_prepare_for_power_up()
mhi_sync_power_up()

This implies that the WLAN device has been powered off during suspend, so the
resume fails and we are bringing the device back to working state.

Since Loic said that reverting would cause his modem (SDX device) to fail during
resume, this is not possible.
