Hello,

I was looking into the same issue (now present in syzbot [1]) and since it has a
C-repro, the error is easy to recreate. Apparently, despite cb->secen (and
hdr.fc.security_enabled accordingly) being equal 1, mac802154_set_header_security()
finishes with 0 in:

	if (!params.enabled ||
	    (cb->secen_override && !cb->secen) ||
	    !params.out_level)
	    return 0;

Not presuming to understand the issue fully but if we do end up leaving
mac802154_set_header_security() early, should we init hdr->key_id_mode
with IEEE802154_SCF_KEY_IMPLICIT before returning with 0?
I imagine that reseting hdr.fc.security_enabled to 0 ourselves in this
case is a wrong way to go too.

Hoping not to have spewed too much nonsense here...

With regards,
Nikita
