wifi: ath11k: initialize rx_mcs_80 and rx_mcs_160 before use
[ Upstream commit b802e7b7e771dee3377d071418281f8b64d2d832 ]
Currently in ath11k_peer_assoc_h_he() rx_mcs_80 and rx_mcs_160
are used to calculate max_nss, see
if (support_160)
max_nss = min(rx_mcs_80, rx_mcs_160);
else
max_nss = rx_mcs_80;
Kernel test robot complains on uninitialized symbols:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:2321 ath11k_peer_assoc_h_he() error: uninitialized symbol 'rx_mcs_80'.
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:2321 ath11k_peer_assoc_h_he() error: uninitialized symbol 'rx_mcs_160'.
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:2323 ath11k_peer_assoc_h_he() error: uninitialized symbol 'rx_mcs_80'.
This is because there are some code paths that never set them, so
the assignment of max_nss can come from uninitialized variables.
This could result in some unknown issues since a wrong peer_nss
might be passed to firmware.
Change to initialize them to an invalid value at the beginning. This
makes sense because even max_nss gets an invalid value, due to either
or both of them being invalid, we can get an valid peer_nss with
following guard:
arg->peer_nss = min(sta->deflink.rx_nss, max_nss)
