Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.16 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

[kworker/7:1:75] Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I had just done a power and BIOS reset to fix a battery problem -- disconnected the battery and the CMOS battery, and held down buttons to reset the power configuration and BIOS. (Not sure I would recommend this, but it worked!) Booting back into Ubuntu, I had this problem. Things seemed normal, but WiFi wouldn't connect, and any interaction with the system (trying to change wifi networks, turn off wifi, power down, restart) just resulted in no response. I did a Alt-SysRq REISUB and booted back in, saw this error report, and here we are.
