The switch case RATR_INX_WIRELESS_MC has a missing break, this seems
to be unintentional as the setting of variable ret gets overwritten
when the case falls through to the following RATR_INX_WIRELESS_AC_5N
case. Fix this by adding in the missing break.

Is the fixes line correct? This patch is not for staging.
No, the correct fixes commit is 21e4b0726dc67 (" rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Move driver
from staging to regular tree").
This driver was initially placed in staging as it was needed for a special
project, which is the commit that Colin used. As the patch subject states, the
driver was later moved to the regular wireless tree.
That break is required, thus ACKed-by: Larry Finger <[email protected]>
Why not remove this entirely and use the generic routine in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/base.c?
Is there a real difference?
I did not see any difference other than the removal of a bunch of magic numbers
and better formatting.
