I would rather like to see the KASAN report, because something is off
here. This function is called with wdev as a parameter so how can it be
accessed after free here? brcmf_remove_interface() does not free the
wdev nor the brcmf_cfg80211_vif instance which contains the wdev.

Sure, https://quora.org/kernel/brcmfmac/dmesg.txt
vmlinux, cfg80211.o, brcmfmac.o and config are in the same path; this
is against v4.9.13 stock.
Thanks,

Forgot to mention some things about the commit message. Please drop the
the kernel version from the subject. You should create the patch against
the wireless-drivers tree and indicate the patch is for 4.11, ie.
"[PATCH for-4.11] brcmfmac: fix use-after-free of wireless_dev
instance". Also add as much useful information in the commit message as
possible like the proper KASAN report or at least mention that
brcmf_remove_interface() does an unregister_netdev() which results in
freeing the wireless_dev through netdev destructor callback.

So this dmesg looks to be about a separate issue during resume, which
you sent an email about earlier [1] which is about using wiphy struct
after free. However, back to this I further checked the code and it
seems the vif is indeed freed through the netdev destructor callback
upon calling brcmf_remove_inteface(). However, I would prefer to store
vif->wdev.iftype in a local variable and avoid changing the order of the
calls in the code.
