True, but this does only 1 of 2 very similar functions.
Ideally both would be done at the same time.

My preference would be to remove the int i and just
dereference rate similar to:

uint r8712_is_cckrates_included(u8 *rate)
{
	while (*rate) {
		u8 r = *rate & 0x7f;

		if (r == 2 || r == 4 || r == 11 || r == 22)
			return true;
		rate++;
	}

	return false;
}

uint r8712_is_cckratesonly_included(u8 *rate)
{
	while (*rate) {
		u8 r = *rate & 0x7f;

		if (r != 2 && r != 4 && r != 11  && r != 22)
			return false;
		rate++;
	}

	return true;
}

though the existing cckratesonly_included function
seemingly returns an incorrect true if the rate array
is empty.
