Hmm... so you're saying there's a FW bug where sometimes we get
bd->rate_id = 0-7 (leading to status.rate_idx = 0-3) on a 5GHz
channel?

static const struct wcn36xx_rate wcn36xx_rate_table[] = {
    /* 11b rates */
    {  10, 0, RX_ENC_LEGACY, 0, RATE_INFO_BW_20 },
    {  20, 1, RX_ENC_LEGACY, 0, RATE_INFO_BW_20 },
    {  55, 2, RX_ENC_LEGACY, 0, RATE_INFO_BW_20 },
    { 110, 3, RX_ENC_LEGACY, 0, RATE_INFO_BW_20 },

    /* 11b SP (short preamble) */
    {  10, 0, RX_ENC_LEGACY, RX_ENC_FLAG_SHORTPRE, RATE_INFO_BW_20 },
    {  20, 1, RX_ENC_LEGACY, RX_ENC_FLAG_SHORTPRE, RATE_INFO_BW_20 },
    {  55, 2, RX_ENC_LEGACY, RX_ENC_FLAG_SHORTPRE, RATE_INFO_BW_20 },
    { 110, 3, RX_ENC_LEGACY, RX_ENC_FLAG_SHORTPRE, RATE_INFO_BW_20 },

It sounds like we should WARN and drop the frame in that case. If
you agree I'll send a v2.
