Sorry again for the slow response time.
I got around to testing this today on my hardware. I tested with a
vanilla 5.13.8 kernel, and then the same kernel with this patch
applied. Long story short, the patch does indeed seem to at least work
around the issue I was seeing in [1]. With this patch applied, I still
get the same "failed to copy target iram contents" error, but the
interface comes up and seems to be functional regardless.
So, for what it's worth (granted I am no wireless expert!), you can take:

(This issue has nothing to do with my full time job, but I'm meant to
use my @google.com address for any open source contributions, which I
believe applies to commit messages too.)
