The driver itself is responsible for many of the restarts because of the firmware errors. A wpa_supplicant log will still be useful.

In the first log you sent most failures appear to occur when A band channels are configured ... does this match with what you are trying to do? Can you explain why the BSSID is all zeroes? Thanks Reinette
