| |
3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>
commit 76591bea9714a58d8924154068c78d702eb2cb17 upstream.
The rate pointer variable for a rate series is used in a loop before it is initialized. This went unnoticed because it was used earlier for the RTS/CTS rate. This bug can lead to the wrong PHY type being passed to the duration calculation function.
