Coverity reported that u8 rx_mask << 24 will become signed 32 bits, which
casting to unsigned 64 bits will do sign extension. For example,
putting 0x80000000 (signed 32 bits) to a u64 variable will become
0xFFFFFFFF_80000000.
The real case we meet is:
rx_mask[0...3] = ff ff 00 00
ra_mask = 0xffffffff_ff0ff000
After this fix:
rx_mask[0...3] = ff ff 00 00
ra_mask = 0x00000000_ff0ff000
Fortunately driver does bitwise-AND with incorrect ra_mask and supported
rates (1ss and 2ss rate only) afterward, so the final rate mask of
original code is still correct.

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.
