Subject: [PATCH][next] mt76: mt7615: Fix a dereference of pointer sta before it is null checked
Date:   Mon, 19 Apr 2021 14:20:32 +0100

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Currently the assignment of idx dereferences pointer sta before
sta is null checked, leading to a potential null pointer dereference.
Fix this by assigning idx when it is required after the null check on
pointer sta.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: a4a5a430b076 ("mt76: mt7615: fix TSF configuration")
