In a very similar spirit to commit c470bdc1aaf3 ("mac80211: don't WARN
on bad WMM parameters from buggy APs"), an AP may not transmit a
fully-formed WMM IE. For example, it may miss or repeat an Access
Category. The above loop won't catch that and will instead leave one of
the four ACs zeroed out. This triggers the following warning in
drv_conf_tx()
wlan0: invalid CW_min/CW_max: 0/0
and it may leave one of the hardware queues unconfigured. If we detect
such a case, let's just print a warning and fall back to the defaults.
Tested with a hacked version of hostapd, intentionally corrupting the
IEs in hostapd_eid_wmm().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
