Christian,
I am getting this crash for the carl9170 in recent kernels, though I
have not yet bisected it. It hangs the networking system completely
(ifconfig -a never returns) and it prevents a reboot. I have to use
sysrq-b to 'cleanly' reboot the system.
I can apply and test any patches.

It worked perfectly in 4.14.110.
The next version I have to test is 4.18.20 where I first noticed
problems with loading regulatory.db, but the driver still worked. The
same for 4.19.33, 4.20.17, and 5.0.6:
# journalctl -b | egrep "cfg80211|regulatory|firmware"

firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2

It looks like the problems arose in the 5.1-rc series. Here is 5.1-rc7

Kalle,
I just tried to bisect this and got an unexpected result: commit
4c3f49ae1306c05e91211c06feddfd0a4a57fabd "Merge branch 'for-5.1-fixes'
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dennis/percpu".
I wanted to share this in case it is correct. I have a stronger
suspicion that the problem has a race condition and appears
intermittently, hence a peculiar bisect outcome.
I will keep debugging.
