The same BUG arise on all the recent kernels, including the one I'm reporting about, even at installation time from the Ubuntu media, at module "load time". By the way, once the kernel report this OOps, the system doesn't power off or reboot correctly at shutdown time, it simply hangs, even when installing the system from the media, a really serious issue for new, naive users. The only way to solve the problem seems to "blacklist" the module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist,conf, but, unfortunately, this will "LOCK" the wireless module in its enabled or disables state and require to boot a different kernel to unlock its state. I did some investigation on the Net about this issue and I found an interesting report about this problem, that seems known at least from kernel version 3.12, http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel=138463383801233=2 I tested the suggested patch against the linux/drivers/input/misc/wistron_btns.c gentoo 4.4.21 source, my main system, and, well, it correct the BUG, not anymore any Oops and the button seems to work correctly. You will find the patch I applied to the wistron_btns.c source as an attachment to this report: it is a really simple patch that I'm almost sure (I didn't verified it) it may be applied unchanged to the 4.4.0-43-generic Ubuntu kernel image sources.
