[PATCH 5.1 062/138] cfg80211: util: fix bit count off by one

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Jul 12 2019 - 08:39:12 EST


[ Upstream commit 1a473d6092d5d182914bea854ce0b21e6d12519d ]

The bits of Rx MCS Map in VHT capability were enumerated
with index transform - index i -> (i + 1) bit => nss i. BUG!
while it should be - index i -> (i + 1) bit => (i + 1) nss.

The bug was exposed in commit a53b2a0b1245 ("iwlwifi: mvm: implement VHT
extended NSS support in rs.c"), where iwlwifi started using the
function.
