You realize you have reversed the meaning of the test?  The original 
was the same as if (i != rcCell->currentRateIndex).

Your patch is possibly correct, but it's hard to know.  I would
leave this for now until someone grovels through the code to find
out for sure if it should be == or !=.  If we silence the warning,
no one will ever look at this code again.
