4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 265698d7e6132a2d41471135534f4f36ad15b09c upstream.
If TX rates are specified during mesh join, the channel must
also be specified. Check the channel pointer to avoid a null
pointer dereference if it isn't.
Reported-by: Jouni Malinen <j@xxxxx>
Fixes: 8564e38206de ("cfg80211: add checks for beacon rate, extend to mesh")
