I don't think this is the right fix.

The only problem is this path:

which I believe we just made use local_bh_disable() since there are
other reasons as well for that, IIRC.

Yes, here's the fix:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers.git/commit/?id=f5ae2f932e2f8f4f79796f44832ae8fca26f188a

It's on the way upstream.

Thanks for the patch/report though!
