From: Nicolai Stange nstange@suse.de
commit 1754c4f60aaf1e17d886afefee97e94d7f27b4cb upstream.
Commit e5e884b42639 ("libertas: Fix two buffer overflows at parsing bss descriptor") introduced a bounds check on the number of supplied rates to lbs_ibss_join_existing() and made it to return on overflow.
However, the aforementioned commit doesn't set the return value accordingly and thus, lbs_ibss_join_existing() would return with zero even though it failed.
Make lbs_ibss_join_existing return -EINVAL in case the bounds check on the number of supplied rates fails.
