This was not a panic, but a LOR.

You didn't need to unlock this early.  The problem was in firmware_get().

This is fine, but I wonder if the firmware API should be changed.  The problem with this approach, and all USB WiFi drivers, is that by unlocking the mutex, the mutual exclusion protection is lost...
