I checked it. The power sum could actually be like 20 or something.
And the recommended modification is to restrict the value used for array
subscript between 1~96 before access the array. Such as:
@@ -578,6 +578,11 @@ static u64 rtw_phy_db_2_linear(u8 power_db)
u8 i, j;
u64 linear;
+ if (power_db > 96)
+ power_db = 96;
+ else if (power_db < 1)
+ return 1;
+
/* 1dB ~ 96dB */
i = (power_db - 1) >> 3;
j = (power_db - 1) - (i << 3);
