wcn36xx: populate band before determining rate on RX
[ Upstream commit c9c5608fafe4dae975c9644c7d14c51ad3b0ed73 ]
status.band is used in determination of status.rate -- for 5GHz on legacy
rates there is a linear shift between the BD descriptor's rate field and
the wcn36xx driver's rate table (wcn_5ghz_rates).
We have a special clause to populate status.band for hardware scan offload
frames. However, this block occurs after status.rate is already populated.
Correctly handle this dependency by moving the band block before the rate
block.
This patch addresses kernel warnings & missing scan results for 5GHz APs
that send their beacons/probe responses at the higher four legacy rates
(24-54 Mbps), when using hardware scan offload:
