Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 17/21] ax88172a: fix information leak on short answers

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit a9a51bd727d141a67b589f375fe69d0e54c4fe22 ]

If a malicious device gives a short MAC it can elicit up to
5 bytes of leaked memory out of the driver. We need to check for
ETH_ALEN instead.
