In the brcmf_count_20mhz_channels function we are looping through a list
of channels received from firmware. Since the index of the first channel
is 0 the condition leads to an off by one bug. This is causing us to hit
the WARN_ON_ONCE(1) calls in the brcmu_d11n_decchspec function, which is
how I discovered the bug.

Hi John,

This bug was introduced in 3.17 so can it still go in the wireless tree? 
I verified it applies to wireless/master branch.

Regards,
Arend
