Passing a BSS conf pointer to mt76_connac2_mac_tx_rate_val() currently has two inconsistencies. When called from mt76_connac2_mac_write_txwi(), BSS conf is got by dereferencing a vif pointer. A NULL vif isn't accounted for though the function itself supposes it to be NULL and tries to handle this case in previous checks. This looks like a cosmetic change since the drivers calling the function (namely, mt7915 and mt7921) set WANT_MONITOR_VIF flag so judging by info->control.vif initialization inside ieee80211_tx_*() routines it can't actually come as NULL here. The same holds for the BSS conf pointer handling inside mt76_connac2_mac_tx_rate_val(). It is dereferenced before being checked for NULL. The function supposes to handle the case so reorder the check and dereference of the pointer. Again, this looks like a syntax issue only.

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 reStructuredText 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.
