I discussed this briefly with Harshit offline.

The commit referenced above tag does add the call to
ieee802154_hdr_peek_addrs(), an there is a sign miss match between
the return value and the variable.

The code to check the mac_len was added more recently, by the following
commit. However the fixes tag is probably fine as-is, because it's fixing
error handling of a call made in that commit.
