Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[chris (viscousplacebo-7)]

I manged to fix it pretty easily just by adding a ie_len parameter

cfg80211_disconnected(ndev, 0, NULL, 0,0, GFP_KERNEL);

I just set it to 0, which may be pretty silly, but at least my driver works :)

[Jan Pfeifer (pfjan)]

Same issue here, same fix to src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c worked.

[Scott (massstash)]

Confirm bug, confirm workaround.

[Andras Bibok (biboka)]

I can confirm the bug & the workaround as well.
