Subject: [REGRESSION] v5.0-rc5 rtl8192cu breakage

Never seen this before v5.0-rc5, rc5 is the only v5.0 build I've booted
so far, if this is already fixed in a newer rc please let me know.

Just wanted to give a heads up since we're so close to v5.0:

WiFi stopped functioning abruptly, this appeared in dmesg:

Unplugging the USB WiFi dongle and reinserting got everything back up and
working.  Only experienced this once so far and it took ~10 days to
happen, only just started using v5.0 so not much more information at
this time.

No reproducer at this time, I wasn't doing anything in particular.

Vito Caputo
