Title:
  Bionic shows incorrect warning about number of pointers in TFD

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  ===SRU Justification===
  [Impact]
  iwlwifi spews "Too many chunks: 20" in dmesg.

  [Fix] 
  From the patch description:
  "
  When we free the TFD, we check its number of valid pointers
  and make sure it doesn't exceed the number of pointers the
  hardware support.
  This check had an off by one bug: it is perfectly valid to
  free the 20 pointers if the TFD has 20 pointers.
  "

  [Test]
  User confirms the patch solves the problem.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low. The fix is limited to iwlwifi, and the patch is in mainline for a
  while.
