It was a real warning, already fixed I imagine via:

    mac80211: fix receiving deauth
    
    Marcel reported a warning, which quite obviously comes
    from an oversight in the code handling deauth frames,
    and which resulted in multiple follow-up warnings due
    to this missing handling. This patch adds the missing
    deauth handling (telling cfg80211 about it) and also
    removes the follow-up warnings since they could happen
    due to races even if nothing is wrong. I've explained
    the races in the comments.

You should report these in the future on linux-wireless directly, they are real.
