What about 'pool_index >= MAX_PKT_NUM_IN_TRANSFER' just to be on the
safe side? Ah, but then error handling won't work:

err:
	for (i = 0; i < pool_index; i++) {
		RX_STAT_ADD(skb_completed_bytes, skb_pool[i]->len);
		ath9k_htc_rx_msg(hif_dev->htc_handle, skb_pool[i],
				 skb_pool[i]->len, USB_WLAN_RX_PIPE);
		RX_STAT_INC(skb_completed);
	}

Maybe that should use 'min(pool_index, MAX_PKT_NUM_IN_TRANSFER - 1)' or
something? Or maybe it's just overengineerin, dunno.
