Temporarily resolved by reversion to Linux 5.19.11, but obviously not an ideal situation.

Basic system information added as a picture attachment.

Bug 216839 is another recent report about problems with mediatek devices. It looks different, but maybe that's due to your blacklisting. It's hence a wild guess (I'm not one of the wifi developers), but maybe this patch will help:

I'll definitely take a look into this. It sounds similar to what I'm experiencing, though there are some pretty minute difference. Thank you!

potential patch (v1)

It looks to me that the problem is trying to access data fetched from ACPI after it's been freed.

Can you see if this patch helps?
