That could be useful hint, we do not scan chan by chan, but we
have thing called "plcp check health", which "restart radio"
by requesting one channel scan. So perhaps disabling that could
help.
At this moment I'm interested in something (a script, some sequence of
actions, whatever) that (somewhat) reliably triggers this error. Because
right now I have no clue what triggers it.
Having reliable reproducer will be definitely something that is
nice to have. But bug could be some kind of race condition that happen
in code flow  once per 10000000000 cases ...  
Is your patch in that category or is it a (crude) fix? If it's a fix,
I'm not sure it is of much help at this stage.
It could be possible fix. Why you can not simply patch and see if errors
are still there? If after a week or so there will be no errors, we could
consider bug fixed, otherwise well ... still will need looking around
for fix.

I just posted patch that remove these "plcp health check" and related
code on -next anyway, because I don't think this is something that we
need.
