Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: htt_rx: Fix signedness bug in ath10k_update_per_peer_tx_stats

Currently, the error handling for the call to function
ath10k_get_legacy_rate_idx() doesn't work because
*rate_idx* is of type u8 (8 bits, unsigned), which
makes it impossible for it to hold a value less
than 0.

Fix this by changing the type of variable *rate_idx*
to s8 (8 bits, signed).

There are more than 127 rates, are you sure this is doing
what you want?

Based on the following function, rate_idx can only hold values from 0 to 11

static inline int ath10k_get_legacy_rate_idx(struct ath10k *ar, u8 rate)
{
static const u8 legacy_rates[] = {1, 2, 5, 11, 6, 9, 12,
18, 24, 36, 48, 54};
int i;

for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(legacy_rates); i++) {
if (rate == legacy_rates[i])
return i;
}

ath10k_warn(ar, "Invalid legacy rate %hhd peer stats", rate);
return -EINVAL;
}
