Per spec, the maximum value for the MaxBSSID ('n') indicator is 8,
and the minimum is 1 since a multiple BSSID set with just one BSSID
doesn't make sense (the # of BSSIDs is limited by 2^n).
Limit this in the parsing in both cfg80211 and mac80211, rejecting
any elements with an invalid value.
This fixes potentially bad shifts in the processing of these inside
the cfg80211_gen_new_bssid() function later.
I found this during the investigation of CVE-2022-41674 fixed by the
previous patch.
Fixes: 0b8fb8235be8 ("cfg80211: Parsing of Multiple BSSID information in scanning")
Fixes: 78ac51f81532 ("mac80211: support multi-bssid")

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 Restructured Text 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.
