Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: remove the need for variable rates_idx
Git-commit: f2a0c18759072dbd5135f72a8035f6fb838df425
Patch-mainline: v5.9-rc1
References: jsc#SLE-13430

Currently rates_idx is being initialized with the value -1 and this
value is never read so the initialization is redundant and can be
removed. The next time the variable is used it is assigned a value
that is returned a few statements later. Just return i - 1 and
remove the need for rates_idx.

Addresses-coverity: ("Unused value")
