I worked around this bug by manually downloading iwlwifi-8000C-36.ucode and iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ and then installing them in /lib/firmware . Now I have firmware version 36.77d01142.0 and it seemed to solve the issue. The network card has been stable for a day or so. Here's my note: https://nyllep.wordpress.com/2020/04/09/updating-linux-iwlwifi-firmware/

I hope the developer can backport the fix, because this essentially can be used for denial-of-service attack. Any client on the same wifi network can just initiate a TDLS connection setup request and it will crash the network interface.
