    Subject[042/104] nl80211: fix MAC address validation
    3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com>

    commit e007b857e88097c96c45620bf3b04a4e309053d1 upstream.

    MAC addresses have a fixed length. The current
    policy allows passing < ETH_ALEN bytes, which
    might result in reading beyond the buffer.
