The ieee80211_check_auth_response() function has a signedness bug because it's a declared as a u16 but it return -ENOMEM. When you look at it more closely it returns a mix of error codes including 0xcafe, -ENOMEM, and a->status which is WLAN_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_ALG. This is a mess. Clean it up to just return standard kernel error codes. We can print out the a->status before returning a regular error code. The printks in the caller need to be adjusted as well.
