From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The for-loop iterates with a u8 loop counter and compares this with the loop upper limit of request->n_ssids which is an int type. There is a potential infinite loop if n_ssids is larger than the u8 loop counter, so fix this by making the loop counter an int.
