It was possible to hit a kernel panic on NULL pointer dereference in
dev_queue_xmit() when sending power save buffered frames to a STA that
woke up from sleep. This happened when the buffered frame was requeued
for transmission in ap_sta_ps_end(). In order to avoid the panic, copy
the skb->dev and skb->iif values from the first fragment to all other
fragments.
