Thanks Larry, this was really helpful. I also see this now on my test
boxes but didn't have to waste any time debugging thanks to you :)

I also see that the broken commit is now reverted in net-next:

https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net-next/c/e7480a44d7c4

Unfortunately it will trickle down to wireless-next after the next
wireless-next pull request, which will take something like 2-3 weeks.
