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?


Based on the following function, rate_idx can only hold values from 0 to 11


... and of course -EINVAL too

static inline int ath10k_get_legacy_rate_idx(struct ath10k *ar, u8 rate)
{
        static const u8 legacy_rates[] = {1, 2, 5, 11, 6, 9, 12,
                                          18, 24, 36, 48, 54};
        int i;

        for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(legacy_rates); i++) {
                if (rate == legacy_rates[i])
                        return i;
        }

        ath10k_warn(ar, "Invalid legacy rate %hhd peer stats", rate);
        return -EINVAL;
}
