mac80211: fix typo in starting baserate for rts_cts_rate_idx
commit c7abf25af0f41be4b50d44c5b185d52eea360cb8 upstream. It affects non-(V)HT rates and can lead to selecting an rts_cts rate that is not a basic rate or way superior to the reference rate (ATM rates[0] used for the 1st attempt of the protected frame data). E.g, assuming drivers register growing (bitrate) sorted tables of ieee80211_rate-s, having : - rates[0].idx == d'2 and basic_rates == b'10100 will select rts_cts idx b'10011 & ~d'(BIT(2)-1), i.e. 1, likewise - rates[0].idx == d'2 and basic_rates == b'10001 will select rts_cts idx b'10000 The first is not a basic rate and the second is > rates[0]. Also, wrt severity of the addressed misbehavior, ATM we only have one rts_cts_rate_idx rather than one per rate table entry, so this idx might still point to bitrates > rates[1..MAX_RATES].
