The oops output suggests it crashes in 
drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_hw.c::prism2_check_magic(),
specifically when it tries to read the HF384X_SWSUPPORT0_OFF register
(which ist at offset 0x28, just like the oopsing address).
So, looking at the HFA384X_INW macro, it seems dev->base_addr is NULL.
I suspect this is because of set_io_map() callback in the hd64461.c
socket driver.  The comment there says IO area is statically mapped,
yet it returns null; I suggest you let it return the base address of
the IO area instead.
