From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> If any of the cipher schemes specified by the driver are invalid, bail out and fail the registration rather than just warning. Otherwise, we might later crash when we try to use the invalid cipher scheme, e.g. if the hdr_len is (significantly) less than the pn_offs + pn_len, we'd have an out-of-bounds access in RX validation.
