[PATCH ath-next v2 1/4] wifi: ath12k: return error when survey frequency is not found
From: m . limarencko
Date: Thu Feb 12 2026 - 07:22:57 EST
From: Mikhail Limarenko <m.limarencko@xxxxxxxxx>
freq_to_idx() currently returns a trailing synthetic index when the
requested channel frequency is not found.
chan-info handlers already bound-check survey index, but an explicit
error on no-match keeps semantics clear and avoids propagating a fake
index value.
Keep matched-frequency index progression unchanged, return -ENOENT on
no match, and make callers reject negative indexes.
Tested-on: QCNFA765 (WCN785x), kernel 6.18.5+deb13-amd64
Signed-off-by: Mikhail Limarenko <m.limarencko@xxxxxxxxx>

v2:
- drop out-of-bounds claim from commit message
- keep original index progression for matched frequencies
- return explicit -ENOENT on no-match and reject negative idx in callers
