Could not find something suspicious, but need to look more into it.
The patch you mentioned adds support for new version of a  chip and I
am not quite clear how it can directly cause a kernel lock. All those
things added are mainly hardware code and need to see whether some
thing basic is missed in the patch.

Please see whether this is consistently reproducible.
As a try can you please disable the network manager and use iw command
to connect?
