I have reported this upstream now at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204723

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi/debugging includes additional information to provide upstream.

Thanks loqs - I have been told by another user that kernel 5.2.11 may have a patch that fixes this so I will test when it is released into core.

After updating to kernel 5.2.11 this problem appears to be fixed as there are a number of wireless patches in the new kernel that seem to have provided a resolution. Also the swcrypto iwlwifi parameter also appears no longer to be needed! This bug can now be closed.
