[PATCH] staging: rtl8192u: fix potential infinite loop because loop counter being too small

From: Colin King
Date: Fri Nov 01 2019 - 10:26:10 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently the for-loop counter i is a u8 however it is being checked
against a maximum value priv->ieee80211->LinkDetectInfo.SlotNum which is a
u16. Hence there is a potential wrap-around of counter i back to zero if
priv->ieee80211->LinkDetectInfo.SlotNum is greater than 255. Fix this by
making i a u16.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Infinite loop")
