Those routines are shared by rtl8192ce and rtl8192cu, thus we need to make that 
difference in cast to be immaterial. I think we need to move "struct 
bt_coexist_info" to the beginning of both rtlpci_priv and rtl_usb_priv. Then it 
should not matter.

I do not have a gcc version new enough to turn KASAN testing on, thus the 
attached patch is only compile tested. Does it fix the problem?
