When building with -Wsometimes-uninitialized, Clang warns:

net/wireless/util.c:1223:11: warning: variable 'result' is used
uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

Clang can't evaluate at this point that WARN(1, ...) always returns true
because __ret_warn_on is defined as !!(condition), which isn't
immediately evaluated as 1. Change this branch to else so that it's
clear to Clang that we intend to bail out here.

Gentle ping (if there was a response to this, I didn't receive it). I
know I sent it in the middle of a merge window so I get if it slipped
through the cracks.

Thanks,

I independently came up with the same fix before I saw yours,
the only difference was that I avoided the extra curly braces
using

+       else
+               return !WARN(1, "invalid HE MCS: bw:%d, ru:%d\n",
+                            rate->bw, rate->he_ru_alloc);

to avoid the mix of bare if() and if() {}

Right, shouldn't all arms of the if/else if/else conditional have {}
if any arm has {}.
