Subject: new warning at net/wireless/util.c:1236

So my Dell XPS 13 seems to have grown a new warning as of the
networking merge yesterday.

Things still work, but when it starts warning, it generates a *lot* of
noise (I got 36 of these within about ten minutes).

I have no idea what triggered it, because when I rebooted (not because
of this issue, but just to reboot into a newer kernel) I don't see it
again.

This is all pretty regular wireless - it's intel 8260 wireless in a
fairly normal laptop.

Things still seem to *work* ok, so the only problem here is the overly
verbose and useless WARN_ON. It doesn't even print out *which* rate it
is warning about, it just does that stupid unconditional WARN_ON()
without ever shutting up about it..

The WARN_ON() seems to be old, but my logs don't seem to have any
mention of this until today, so there's something that has changed
that now triggers it.

Ideas?
