What's your setup ? Can you post your hostapd config ?
Are the stations in legacy mode or HT mode ? Is any station using
powersave ? What kind of traffic is being run ?
The line in question is from net/mac80211/tx.c:
/* uh huh? */
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(info->control.rates[0].idx < 0))
return 0;
Dunno what that "uh huh?" is supposed to mean.
