+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix rate mask reset
+
+[ Upstream commit 1944015fe9c1d9fa5e9eb7ffbbb5ef8954d6753b ]
+
+Coverity reported the strange "if (~...)" condition that's
+always true. It suggested that ! was intended instead of ~,
+but upon further analysis I'm convinced that what really was
+intended was a comparison to 0xff/0xffff (in HT/VHT cases
+respectively), since this indicates that all of the rates
+are enabled.
+
+Change the comparison accordingly.
+
+I'm guessing this never really mattered because a reset to
+not having a rate mask is basically equivalent to having a
+mask that enables all rates.

+Fixes: 2ffbe6d33366 ("mac80211: fix and optimize MCS mask handling")
+Fixes: b119ad6e726c ("mac80211: add rate mask logic for vht rates")
