Subject: [PATCH 5.15 054/177] iwlwifi: mvm: dont crash on invalid rate w/o STA

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit d599f714b73e4177dfdfe64fce09175568288ee9 ]

If we get to the WARN_ONCE(..., "Got a HT rate (...)", ...)
here with a NULL sta, then we crash because mvmsta is bad
and we try to dereference it. Fix that by printing -1 as the
state if no station was given.
