We had a bug in the scan command size for older firmwares. I have
already made a fix for it, but I hadn't sent it out for upstream yet.
I'll send it out now and soon send you a link to it in patchwork.
You have two options: recompile the kernel with my patch or; use the
latest version of the firmware from linux-firmware.git[1].
I recommend upgrading the firmware, because we have a lot of other
fixes and improvements there, but if you want to keep your distro's
original firmware package, you can apply my patch instead.
HTH and thanks for reporting!
