The driver is crashing with the following:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
...
PC is at cfg80211_scan_done+0x28/0x64 [cfg80211]
LR is at cfg80211_rtw_scan+0x724/0x800 [8723ds]
The faulty statement is
cfg80211_scan_done(request, 0);
Sending a simple integer as the second argument of cfg80211_scan_done()
is only valid for kernel 4.7 and earlier.
