Subject: [PATCH][next] mt76: fix less than zero check on a u8 variable

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The signed return from the call to get_omac_idx is being assigned to the
u8 variable mac_idx and then checked for a negative error condition
which is always going to be false. Fix this by assigning the return to
the int variable ret and checking this instead.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: 04b8e65922f6 ("mt76: add mac80211 driver for MT7615 PCIe-based chipsets")
