That is the main one. Others that you might consider, but they probably will not
make any difference:
3eda95d rtlwifi: Remove extra debugging message accidentally left in
4e3c3b8 rtlwifi: Fix breakage in debug functions when built as a module
This fixes a problem caused in commit 481b9606.
ebecdcc rtlwifi: rtl8192c: Prevent sleeping from invalid context in rtl8192cu
The patch below is currently under test. It is not likely to make any difference
with your problem, but it changes USB reads a lot.

========================================================================
The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to
acquire a 32-bit buffer for reading. When _usb_read_sync() is called
with the rcu_lock held, the result is a "sleeping function called
from invalid context" BUG. This is reported for two cases in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775. The first case
where the lock originates from within rtlwifi and could be fixed
by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from
within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync()
by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and
allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.
