Currently, the error handling for the call to function
ath10k_get_legacy_rate_idx() doesn't work because
*rate_idx* is of type u8 (8 bits, unsigned), which
makes it impossible for it to hold a value less
than 0.

Fix this by changing the type of variable *rate_idx*
to s8 (8 bits, signed).

There are more than 127 rates, are you sure this is doing
what you want?

Thanks,
Ben
