The problem is due to rtl8192ce and rtl8192cu sharing routines, and having
different layouts of struct rtl_pci_priv, which is used by rtl8192ce, and
struct rtl_usb_priv, which is used by rtl8192cu. The problem was resolved
by placing the struct bt_coexist_info at the head of each of those private
areas.

Kalle,
This bug has been in the code since kernel 4.0. To my knowledge, it has
never caused a crash, thus I see no particular need to rush the fix to
mainline. Including it in 4.11 should be OK.
I have a better fix in mind that is much more invasive, but that will not
need to be backported to older kernels as this change will fix the bug.
That second fix will be submitted later.
Larry
