It looks like other cases of iterating through ssid->pnext pointers are
using a separate for loop to go through all the prio values (e.g., see
wpa_supplicant_pick_new_network()). Those would allow the
wpa_s->conf->pssid[]?array to have a NULL pointer in it. This does not
seem to happen currently, so this is not of that much concern on its own
and the single loop here could be made to work. However, it looks like
the final loop through this would read beyond the end of the pssid[]
array. The while condition would stop that ssid pointer from being used,
but if I understood the implementation here correctly, that
pssid[++prio] would need to be protected with something like

	if (ssid->pnext)
		ssid = ssid->pnext;
	else if (prio + 1 == wpa_s->conf->num_prio)
		break;
	else
		ssid = wpa_s->conf->pssid[++prio];

to avoid potential issues (and analyzer warnings) on reading one pointer
beyond the allocation of the pssid[] array.
