Subject: wifi: iwlegacy: 4965: corrected fix for potential off-by-one overflow in il4965_rs_fill_link_cmd()
From: Stanislaw Gruszka <stf_xl@xxxxx>
commit 6d0ef7241553f3553a0a2764c69b07892705924c upstream.
This reverts commit a8eb8e6f7159c7c20c0ddac428bde3d110890aa7 as
it can cause invalid link quality command sent to the firmware
and address the off-by-one issue by fixing condition of while loop.
