Coverity reported that u8 rx_mask << 24 will become signed 32 bits, which casting to unsigned 64 bits will do sign extension. For example, putting 0x80000000 (signed 32 bits) to a u64 variable will become 0xFFFFFFFF_80000000. The real case we meet is: rx_mask[0...3] = ff ff 00 00 ra_mask = 0xffffffff_ff0ff000 After this fix: rx_mask[0...3] = ff ff 00 00 ra_mask = 0x00000000_ff0ff000 Fortunately driver does bitwise-AND with incorrect ra_mask and supported rates (1ss and 2ss rate only) afterward, so the final rate mask of original code is still correct.
