Kernel source is now maintained using git, which keeps track of changes using 
the sha1sum of the changes. The ID above is the leading digits of that sum.

The patch in question is attached. It handles the cases where the self member of 
the pci_bus struct is not present. It appears not to have been applied to your 
source. Does this patch fix your problem?

    rtlwifi: Fix kernel oops on ARM SOC
    
    This driver uses information from the self member of the pci_bus struct to
    get information regarding the bridge to which the PCIe device is attached.
    Unfortunately, this member is not established on all architectures, which
    leads to a kernel oops.
    
    Skipping the entire block that uses the self member to determine the bridge
    vendor will only affect RTL8192DE devices as that driver sets the ASPM support
    flag differently when the bridge vendor is Intel. If the self member is
    available, there is no functional change.
    
    This patch fixes Bugzilla No. 40212.
