I would highly suspect the hasty wpa_supplicant patch more than the
kernel patches.

I suppose you don't have any wpa_supplicant verbose logs ? (with the -dd
option).

I don't have physical access to any hardware given the current crisis,
but if you could tell which kernel and wpa_supplicant version you
applied the patch on, and whether you took the patches from the mailing
list or from git including the cleanup patches.

Also, which driver/card did you use ? I mainly tested this with ath9k
with ar93xx.
