[Pei Xiao]

kmalloc may fail, return might be NULL and will cause
NULL pointer dereference later.

We use 'wifi: rtw89:' in the title, please check the documentation below
for more.

A way to known subject prefix is to use git log with the files touched by
this patch:
   git log --oneline drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/coex.c

Also subject can point out specific function. Then my opinion is
  "wifi: rtw89: coex: check NULL return of kmalloc in btc_fw_set_monreg()"
