Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: fix station info handling bugs
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2018 23:20:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180116222022.13161-1-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

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")
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

Dave, can you apply this as an exception? I'm not really expecting
any other patches to show up now, and seems easier to have a single
patch than a whole pull request (especially now that patchwork seems
to be swallowing mine ...)
