Hi,
the patch queued as e5e884b42639 ("libertas: Fix two buffer overflows at
parsing bss descriptor") at the wireless tree doesn't look completely
correct to me.
This hunk here...

in the code and leaves the RCU read section unbalanced.
Also, I'm wondering if ret should perhaps get set to some -Exxxx in case
of rates_max > MAX_RATES?
Thanks,
