[PATCH 3.16 221/254] cfg80211: fix station info handling bugs

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Feb 28 2018 - 11:13:40 EST


3.16.55-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 5762d7d3eda25c03cc2d9d45227be3f5ab6bec9e upstream.

Fix two places where the structure isn't initialized to zero,
and thus can't be filled properly by the driver.

Fixes: 4a4b8169501b ("cfg80211: Accept multiple RSSI thresholds for CQM")
Fixes: 9930380f0bd8 ("cfg80211: implement IWRATE")
