This patch addresses a crash issue that occurs when unloading the
ath11k_pci driver with QCN9074 PCIe WiFi 6 modules.
The crash is caused by the driver attempting to perform reset
operations during unload, leading to a synchronous external abort
and kernel panic, as indicated by the error log:

The fix involves adding a conditional check for the power state before
performing the reset operations in the ath11k_pci_sw_reset function.
This ensures that the reset functions are only called when loading the driver,
preventing the crash during driver unload.
