mwl8k: Fix rate_idx underflow
It was reported on OpenWrt bug tracking system[1], that several users are affected by the endless reboot of their routers if they configure 5GHz interface with channel 44 or 48. The reboot loop is caused by the following excessive number of WARN_ON messages: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at backports-4.19.23-1/net/mac80211/rx.c:4516 ieee80211_rx_napi+0x1fc/0xa54 [mac80211] as the messages are being correctly emitted by the following guard: case RX_ENC_LEGACY: if (WARN_ON(status->rate_idx >= sband->n_bitrates)) as the rate_idx is in this case erroneously set to 251 (0xfb). This fix simply converts previously used magic number to proper constant and guards against substraction which is leading to the currently observed underflow. 1. https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=2218 Fixes: 85478344 ("mwl8k: properly set receive status rate index on 5 GHz receive") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Tested-by: Eubert Bao <bunnier@gmail.com> Reported-by: Eubert Bao <bunnier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Petr Štetiar <ynezz@true.cz> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>
