Subject: [108/244] iwlegacy: fix BUG_ON(info->control.rates[0].idx < 0)

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@...hat.com>

commit 7c2510120e9b43b0caf32c3786a6ab831f7d9e87 upstream.

When trying to connect to 5GHz we can provide negative index to
mac80211 what trigger BUG_ON. Reason of iwl-3945-rs malfunction
on 5GHz is unknown and needs further investigation. For now, to
do not trigger a bug, correct value and just print WARNING.

Address bug:
