Linus doesn't have this one yet:

    iwlwifi: fix internal scan race
    
    It is possible for internal scan to race against itself if the device is
    not returning the scan results from first requests. What happens in this
    case is the cleanup done during the abort of the first internal scan also
    cleans up part of the new scan, causing it to access memory it shouldn't.
...

I suspect it might be related.
