It is possible that it is causing by the following code in ncsi_reset_dev() function.
The state might be overwritten and the previous operation is interrupted.

spin_lock_irqsave(&ndp->lock, flags);
ndp->flags |= NCSI_DEV_RESET;
ndp->active_channel = active;
ndp->active_package = active->package;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ndp->lock, flags);

nd->state = ncsi_dev_state_suspend;
