Subject: [PATCH] staging: wfx: avoid uninitialized variable use

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Move the added check of the 'band' variable after the
initialization. Pointed out by clang with

drivers/staging/wfx/data_tx.c:34:19: warning: variable 'band' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
        if (rate->idx >= band->n_bitrates) {

Fixes: 868fd970e187 ("staging: wfx: improve robustness of wfx_get_hw_rate()")
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>
