The warning complains about a device being released with MSI descriptors
still attached to the device. This was added by:

  5b012cede0f7 ("device: Add device::msi_data pointer and struct msi_device_data")

That's not a regression caused by this commit. The warning is just
exposing an already existing problem in the iwlwifi driver, which seems
to do:

   probe()
     setup_pci_msi[x]_interrupts()
     start_drv()
       if (try_to_load_firmware() == FAIL)
       	   device_release_driver()
                ...
                msi_device_data_release()
                    WARN()

Thanks,
