Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6656: Refactor the vnt_ofdm_min_rate function

Replace the for loop by a ternary operator whose condition is an AND
bitmask against the priv->basic_rates variable.

The purpose of the for loop was to check if any of bits from RATE_54M to
RATE_6M was set, but it's not necessary to check every individual bit.
The same result can be achieved using only one single mask which
comprises all the commented bits.

This way avoid the iteration over an unnecessary for loop.

Also change the return type to bool because it's the type that this
function returns.

priv->basic_rates & GENMASK(RATE_54M, RATE_6M) is already true if
non-zero and false otherwise. Note that I haven't checked if the
rest is correct.

Yes only 1 or more needs to be true and it is false when none present.

I have run-time checked the patch and it does function as before.
