Thanks for testing. When I submit the patch, is it OK to cite your reporting and
testing?

Yes, the bt_coexist_info structure is in two different places. I will change the
code in rtl8192c-common and rtl8192ce to use only the one in rtlpriv. That
should satisfy the problem you reported, as well as clean up the code.

Thanks again,

Larry
