Subject[patch 21/45] ath5k: warn and correct rate for unknown hw rate indexes
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com>

upstream commit: b726604706ad88d8b28bc487e45e710f58cc19ee

ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to
the rate index used by mac80211; however, we have seen some
received frames with incorrect rate indexes. Such frames
normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(),
but it doesn't include enough information to track down the
error.

This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups
that result in a rate index of -1, then returns a valid rate so
the frame can be processed.
