I completely understand and I already was worried that this might be
a staging-driver issue, which is why I mentioned this was with a
staging driver in the more detailed bug-report email.

So I've given your fix a quick try and it leads to a NULL pointer deref.

But now that you've given me a lead on how to fix this (network/wifi
drivers are not really me expertise) I can take a shot at seeing if I
can fix the NULL pointer deref. I Hope to get back to you on that later
today.
