    Linus pulled it now:

    rtlwifi: rtl_usb: Fix missing entry in USB driver's private data

    These drivers need to be able to reference "struct ieee80211_hw"
    from
    the driver's private data, and vice versa. The USB driver failed to
    store the address of ieee80211_hw in the private data. Although this
    bug has been present for a long time, it was not exposed until
    commit ba9f93f82aba ("rtlwifi: Fix enter/exit power_save").
