[PATCH] iwlwifi: mvm: Fix potential NULL dereference for sta

From: Takashi Iwai
Date: Fri Jan 21 2022 - 06:14:30 EST


The recent fix for NULL sta in iwl_mvm_get_tx_rate() may still hit a
potential NULL dereference, as iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211() is called
unconditionally (although this doesn't seem happening, practically
seen, thanks to the compiler optimization).

This patch addresses it by dropping the temporary variable.

Fixes: d599f714b73e ("iwlwifi: mvm: don't crash on invalid rate w/o STA")
