I am not seeing this on Linux 5.9-rc5 for sure.

I don't see this patch in 4.19.146-rc1
It's not there, it's in 5.4.66-rc1, which worked for you somehow, right?
Linus's tree works for with this patch in. I compared the two files for differences in commit between Linus's tree and 5.8.10-rc1
Couldn't find anything obvious.
Again, really odd...
I don't have a problem dropping it, but I should drop it from both 5.4.y and 5.8.y, right?
Sorry. Yes. Dropping from 5.8 and 5.4 would be great until we figure out why this patch causes problems.
I will continue debugging and let you know what I find.
With this it boots and wifi is good for me. I am very puzzled by why this made a difference to make sure I am not narrowing in on the wrong patch.
Update on this. I did a series of reboots and boots with the patch I asked you to drop and I am not seeing the wifi problem.
Prateek Sood prsood@codeaurora.org firmware_loader: fix memory leak for paged buffer
With my testing, I think it is an unrelated issue and the error messages from the fw load code path in the driver when wifi failed through me off.
Sorry for making you drop the patch from 5.8.y and 5.4.y. Please include them in the next rc.
thanks, -- Shuah
