I'm not able to reproduce the crash on upstream drivers, the crash only happened when
I had a local patch that caused it to not associate.

I still think the patch should go upstream as there may be other paths to hit the bug,
but maybe it doesn't need to be backported?

Let me know if you still want me to do the Fixes thing.

Thanks,
Ben
