Subject: 5.6.0-rc7+ fails to connect to wifi network

Hi,

I did a pull from Linus' tree this morning. It included the latest network fixes. Unfortunately, the resultant kernel
fails to connect to my home wifi network. 5.4.28 connects fine as does 5.6.0-rc7+ built at the parent commit of the
network merge (i.e. commit 906c40438bb669b253d0daeaf5f37a9f78a81b41 - Merge branch 'i2c/for-current' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux).

The output from dmesg from the failed boot is attached. I've obfuscated the mac addresses of my BT router and of a
wifi-extender.

Let me know if I can provide any additional diagnostics and/or test any patches.

Please cc me in any reply as I'm not subscribed.

Thanks.
