It's the latter that is triggered in the real world, though. See the
referenced URL and also now on bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217214
i.e.: drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/dvm/sta.c:1103

So keyconf->keylen is coming in as 32. If this is a bug, I'm not sure
where/how to fix it.

Perhaps this patch can be taken as-is, and a WARN_ON added for the >16
case to be tracked down separately?
