The driver itself is responsible for many of the restarts because of the
firmware errors. A wpa_supplicant log will still be useful. 

Could you please give more information about what the system is trying
to do here? In the first log you sent most failures appear to occur when
A band channels are configured ... does this match with what you are
trying to do? Can you explain why the BSSID is all zeroes? 

Thanks
