My understanding is that the driver first fails to reconfigure
<4>[163874.555825] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: already resetting count 2
<4>[163884.606490] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to wait wlan mode request (mode 4): -110
<4>[163884.606508] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: qmi failed to send wlan mode off: -110
<3>[163884.606550] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to reconfigure driver on crash recovery
so ath11k_core_reconfigure_on_crash() calls ath11k_hal_srng_deinit(),
which destroys the srng lists, but leaves the stale initialized flag.
So next time ath11k_hal_dump_srng_stats() is called everything looks ok,
but in fact everything is not quite ok.
Regardless of that, I do think that resetting the initialized flag
when srng list is de-initialized/destroyed is the right thing to do.
