When that happens, lots of things can go wrong. For example the stations don't get added properly to mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id. Mac80211 tries to stop A-MPDU upon reconfig but in case of a firmware crash we will bail out fairly early and in the end, we won't delete the A-MPDU Rx timeout. When that timer expired after a double firmware crash, we end up dereferencing mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id[sta_id] which is NULL.
