Subject: mac80211: fix divide by zero when NOA update
From: "Janusz.Dziedzic@xxxxxxxxx" <Janusz.Dziedzic@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 519ee6918b91abdc4bc9720deae17599a109eb40 upstream.
In case of one shot NOA the interval can be 0, catch that
instead of potentially (depending on the driver) crashing
like this:
divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP
[...]
