Currently, ASPM is disabled for all WLAN+BT combo chipsets when BTCOEX is enabled. This is incorrect since the workaround is required only for WB195, which is a AR9285+AR3011 combo solution.

There are a number of problems that occur for the latest version
of the Realtek RTL8188CE device with the in-kernel driver. These
include selection of the wrong firmware, and system lockup. A full
fix is known, but is too invasive for inclusion in stable. This patch
fixes the problem with loading the wrong firmware, and logs a message
that the device may not work for kernels 3.6 and older.
