The rtl8xxxu has all the rtl8192cu USB IDs from rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/sw.c except for the following 10, add these to the untested section so they can be used with the rtl8xxxu as the rtl8192cu are well supported.
This fixes these wifi modules not working on distributions which have disabled CONFIG_RTL8192CU replacing it with CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED, like Fedora.

31be3175bd7b wifi: rtl8xxxu: add more missing rtl8192cu USB IDs
Thank you for merging this, since this is a bugfix patch, see e.g. :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2321540
I was expecting this patch to show up in 6.13-rc1 but it does not appear to be there.
Can you please include this in a fixes-pull-request to the network maintainer so that gets added to a 6.13-rc# release soon and then can be backported to various stable kernels ?
This patch stays in rtw.git and 6.14 will have it, and then drain to stable trees. For the redhat users, could you ask the distro maintainer to take this patch ahead?
That is not how things are supposed to work. You are supposed to have a fixes tree/branch and a next tree/branch and fixes should be send out ASAP.
Please understand that we are more or less volunteers and working with limited time.
Ideally you would have already send this out as a fixes pull-request for 6.12 but waiting till 6.14 really is not acceptable IMHO.
If you have an important fix please document that somehow, for example "[PATCH wireless]" or "[PATCH v6.13]". If there's nothing like that most likely the patch goes to -next, we (in wireless) don't take every fix to -rc.
