I have a different interpretation of the original issue, since afaik the
value it was doing a BUG_ON on is a value that is only passed in by the
driver and copied by the ucode to the response, hence it shouldn't
actually crash unless the driver is passing bogus stuff in or, as it
seems to be the case here, the DMA programming is completely fucked and
the ucode just goes to write to random memory locations.

Strange. My test AP isn't N capable though.
