+Subject: [PATCH] mwl8k: Fix rate_idx underflow
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+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.
+
