I'm not into workarounds any kind, but this is really strange issue,
maybe FW bug that triggers just by slightly different driver behaviour.

Seems not to be related with set_key operation at all. We set 2 HW
keys at the beginning and hang happen after some tx/rx traffic
without any re-keyring.

I'm not sure why disabling HW encryption helps. Maybe it is due to
ordering or timing. With SW encryption we spend more time in mac80211
before pass skb's to the driver. Or maybe we just mix some HW keys 
and SW (group) keys in way that FW does not like.

I tested below patch and it did not help.
