Could you try the compile and load test I suggested earlier. I will try to

I'm not sure that helps:

So actually it shows me that we are not getting responses. That and the
pend8021x is starting to look pretty fishy, but lacking console messages
may be build issue that I explain further down.
Looking at the time the messages (at 589095.542690) are produced, what
seems to cause this is when I head out with my LineageOS (TI WiLink
based) phone to the car and drive off. I've suspected that's the case
with all the previous iterations of this problem too.
At this point, the LineageOS phone is completely unable to reassociate
with the AP, but it can see the AP with varying amounts of signal - it
shows medium signal, which drops to nothing when it tries to associate.
As soon as it stops, the indicated signal seems to come back... not
sure if that's a LineageOS thing or something that is really happening
on the Broadcom side.
It looks to me like the older firmware is not happy about a station
disappearing off into the distance... surely I can't be the only one
who takes an associated station out of range of a BRCM4330 in hostap
mode?
Thanks. Always good to have a scenario to trigger it. I tried setting it
up over here. Everything looks fine but my stations don't see any
beacons coming from it :-(
I don't seem to have any messages from the firmware, and I can't find
anything useful under /sys/kernel/debug for the driver - the only
thing I have is:
# tree /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy5
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy5
├── features

That is weird. For SDIO it should also have three additional files:
forensics
counters
console_interval
The fact that these are absent suggests that sdio.c was not build with
DEBUG define. How do you build the brcmfmac driver?
0 directories, 9 files
Also no devcoredumps appear to have been produced, although the
facility is enabled.
I'm going back to the 2013 firmware now, which seems to behave itself.
I was also thinking about what has changed since 4.18. One commit that
comes to mind is the rewrite of scatter-gather handling in bcmsdh.c, ie.
commit 4a5a553ddef7 ("brcmfmac: Use standard SKB list accessors in
brcmf_sdiod_sglist_rw."). Maybe you revert that and try again.
