[ Upstream commit 304950a467d83678bd0b0f46331882e2ac23b12d ]

brcmf_fweh_handle_if_event() validates the firmware-provided interface
index before it touches drvr->iflist[], but it still uses the raw
bsscfgidx field as an array index without a matching range check.

Reject IF events whose bsscfg index does not fit in drvr->iflist[]
before indexing the interface array.
