WLAN drivers provided by Realtek do not work with backports (cfg80211 module not compatible)

We use 8192cu and 8811AU provided by Realtek. Our kernel is 3.10.
We would like to add parallel support for ath10k_pci from backports.

However after inserting compat.ko, cfg80211.ko and mac80211.ko from
backports, 8192cu.ko and 8821au.ko terminate with following message:
[  512.188364] 8192cu: Unknown symbol wiphy_new (err 0)
[  512.188481] 8192cu: Unknown symbol cfg80211_send_disassoc (err 0)
[  512.188554] 8192cu: Unknown symbol cfg80211_send_rx_assoc (err 0)
[  512.188607] 8192cu: Unknown symbol cfg80211_inform_bss_frame (err 0)

Those interfaces are exported when I load cfg80211.ko compiled from kernel 3.10.
But I can not see them in cfg80211.ko provided by backports.

Do you know this problem ?
Is there any easy way to solve this issue ?
