Well, I don't think you can teach coverity this easily, but the
WARN_ON() check there is not really meant to protect this - WEP keys
must have a length of either 5 or 13 bytes (40 or 104 bits!).

So there's no issue here, but I'm not surprised that coverity wouldn't
be able to figure that out through the stack.
