Subject: [PATCH 4.4 12/30] staging: rtl8188eu: prevent an underflow in rtw_check_beacon_data()

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 784047eb2d3405a35087af70cba46170c5576b25 upstream.

The "len" could be as low as -14 so we should check for negatives.
