Provide additional information that may help debugging why
the WARN_ON is seen.

It would make sense to put the data *into* the warning, rather than
separately? Though I'm not sure I see so much value in the long string
(vs. just the data).

I assume IWL_ERR will provide some extra context in systems with multiple radios,
so more useful than what I could easily put into WARN_* directly.


But honestly I'm not sure this really even is a problem at all? Some
confusion can happen during firmware restart here, and not sure we can
really fix that. Though maybe with the new locking we can.

I see the splat, not sure why.  It would be nice to know if link-id is
corrupted somehow, or if active links is zero, etc.

Thanks,
Ben
