Both loops of this function compare data from the 'chan' array and
then check if the index is valid.
The 2 conditions should be inverted to avoid an out-of-bounds
access.
Was that found by a static analyzer or any other automated tool, or
was that the result of your very careful review?
The error has been reported by KASan:

BUG: KASan: out of bounds access in iwl_init_sband_channels+0x207/0x260 [iwlwifi] at addr ffff8800c2d0aac8

==================================================================
Always try to add information like this to the commit log, it's very
useful.
