JFYI, I got following LOR started after the netisr changes:

In general, device driver locks should not be held over entry to the
network stack. However, things get a bit tricky in the 802.11 code due
to lock sharing, I believe, so it could be a bit more tricky to fix that.

It's just a bug in the driver. Driver locks should be dropped when
packets get passed up the stack. This issue was pointed out before iwi
ever was committed but since nothing immediately comes back via the
bridge (or similar) it's been ignored.
