Description:
Updating the version of the "linux" package from 5.12.2.arch1-1 to 5.12.3.arch1-1 or 5.12.4.arch1-2 causes the wireless connection on my Dell XPS15 9500 to not come up.
Downgrading back to 5.12.2.arch1-1 solves the issue.

Additional info:
* Packages: linux-5.12.3.arch1-1 and linux-5.12.4.arch1-2
* Hardware: I believe Killer WiFi 6 AX500-DBS (lspci: 6c:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Device 1101 (rev 01))
* Logs: I'm not seeing any specifics, but notably the following error consistently appears in 5.12.3+ and never on 5.12.2:

kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: setting up ROME/QCA6390
kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: Frame reassembly failed (-84)

I believe this indicates that Bluetooth is also unhappy.

Ath11k logs:

Broken versions:

Steps to reproduce:
* Upgrade to one of the two mentioned kernels.
* Reboot.
