[ Upstream commit 69188df5f6 ]
Fixes a warning that occurs when rc table support is enabled
(IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE) in mac80211_hwsim and the PS mode
is changed via the exported debugfs attribute.
When the PS mode is changed, a packet is broadcasted via
hwsim_send_nullfunc by creating and transmitting a plain skb with only
header initialized. The ieee80211 rate array in the control buffer is
zero-initialized. When ratetbl support is enabled, ieee80211_get_tx_rates
is called for the skb with sta parameter set to NULL and thus no
ratetbl can be used. The final rate array then looks like
[-1,0; 0,0; 0,0; 0,0] which causes the warning in ieee80211_get_tx_rate.
The issue is fixed by setting the count of the first rate with idx '0'
to 1 and hence ieee80211_get_tx_rates won't overwrite it with idx '-1'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
