Subject: [PATCH 1/2] b43legacy: fix a lower bounds test
Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2021 10:35:42 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211006073542.GD8404@kili> (raw)

The problem is that "channel" is an unsigned int, when it's less 5 the
value of "channel - 5" is not a negative number as one would expect but
is very high positive value instead.

This means that "start" becomes a very high positive value.  The result
of that is that we never enter the "for (i = start; i <= end; i++) {"
loop.  Instead of storing the result from b43legacy_radio_aci_detect()
it just uses zero.

Fixes: 75388acd0cd8 ("[B43LEGACY]: add mac80211-based driver for legacy BCM43xx devices")

This fix is correct, but making dead code go live can sometimes expose
bugs which were previously hiding and is always carries a slight risk.
