Subject: [ 23/37] rt61pci: fix NULL pointer dereference in config_lna_gain

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit deee0214def5d8a32b8112f11d9c2b1696e9c0cb upstream.

We can not pass NULL libconf->conf->channel to rt61pci_config() as it
is dereferenced unconditionally in rt61pci_config_lna_gain() subroutine.

Resolves:
