This description looks like a generic issue in 88W8897 chip or its
firmware and not something to Surface PCIe controller or Surface HW. But
please correct me if I'm wrong here.
Has somebody 88W8897-based PCIe card in non-Surface device and can check
or verify if this issue happens also outside of the Surface device?
It would be really nice to know if this is issue in Surface or in 8897.
