Subject: mac80211: fix scan band off-by-one error
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=69d464d5938ca0f4fb3447b3e32872e0ca79efc1;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mac80211: fix scan band off-by-one error

When checking for the next band to advance to, there
was an off-by-one error that could lead to an access
to an invalid array index. Additionally, the later
check for scan_band >= IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS is not
required since that will never be true.

This also improves the comments related to that code.
