We could leave it as is or change it to "MAX_WPA_IE_LEN - 1".  But I
feel like the default should be to leave it as is unless there is a good
reason.

So from a static analysis perspective we wouldn't complain unless/until
the "n" is re-used outside the loop.  So this a chance to make a smarter
static analyzer.
