The patch doesn't help:

$ ./iw 
Usage:  ./iw [options] command
Options:
        --debug         enable netlink debugging
        --version       show version

$2 = {section = 0x0, name = 0x403865 "list", args = 0x0, cmd = NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY, 
  nl_msg_flags = 768, idby = CIB_NONE, handler = 0x401da0 <handle_info>}
(gdb) p __start___cmd[0]

$5 = (struct cmd *) 0x403d20
(gdb) p &__start___cmd[1]
$6 = (struct cmd *) 0x403d50

$ nm iw | grep __cmd |sort

The next command is at 0x403d60, but the code expects it at 0x403d50.
gdb confirms it:

(gdb) p *(struct cmd *) 0x403d60
$1 = {section = 0x0, name = 0x40386a "info", args = 0x0, cmd = NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY, 
  nl_msg_flags = 0, idby = CIB_PHY, handler = 0x401da0 <handle_info>}
(gdb) p *(struct cmd *) 0x403da0
$2 = {section = 0x403878 "set", name = 0x40387c "name", args = 0x403881 "<new name>", 
  cmd = NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY, nl_msg_flags = 0, idby = CIB_PHY, 
  handler = 0x402230 <handle_name>}
(gdb)
