FYI: There is a new NXP driver for these ex-Marvell wifi chips:
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/nxpwifi/mwifiex/tree/mxm_wifiex/wlan_src/mlinux?h=caf/master

And NXP has there also some modified mwifiex driver:
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/nxpwifi/mwifiex/tree/mwifiex_8997/mlinux?h=caf/master&id=070397228c46e0a6afce4f627b032d3818cc1356

Maybe somebody could be interested in looking into those NXP driver
modifications... Maybe NXP fixed some issues here.

Also look at another new bug report related to mwifiex firmware:
