This is pretty strange - if the dentry pointer (sdata
->debugfs.subdir_stations) was NULL or an ERR_PTR(), the code would
return pretty much immediately.

So it looks like that pointer is valid, but it's ->d_inode was NULL?

I'm not really sure how that could happen.

Since 4.0.4 was stable, and 4.0.5 crashes, you'd think there's
something wrong between those two kernels and there were no changes to
mac80211 related to these code paths in there.
