After the driver submitted the five frames it received a surprisingly large number of tx responses from firmware, with one of these causing the problem. The bad value from the firmware may be a result of something else done incorrectly by driver here since the firmware has been trying for more than 40 times at this point to inform driver about tx results. I commented in that bugzilla and we can continue to debug this issue there. Until then I'd like to hold off on this patch.
