There exists also an IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE addr_type.

We need to first check that space is there to evaluate the addr_type.

If it's NONE, ignore hwaddr or short address. If it's SHORT or hwaddr
check if they have space for it, if it's something completely
different return -EINVAL.

There are still missing bits and I would recommend introducing a
helper function to do this "kind" of more complex check. This patch
spreads different checks around by checking on IEEE802154_MIN_NAMELEN
(which isn't correct, because NONE) and then requires another check by
calling ieee802154_addr_from_sa() and checking the return code.
