Sorry for the late reply.

I think this was actually caused by some changes from Ben Greear
"optimising" stuff in net/mac80211/work.c and keeping the wrong channel,
Stanislaw was also looking at this at some point I think. I agree that
it would be good to change to WARN_ON_ONCE(), will do that.

The warning itself has been around forever, but the fact that it
triggers now is probably related to the channel work & band switches.
