You should never trust anything you receive from the network. Always
validate it. ds could be a NULL pointer here, if source_device is
bad. source_port could also be invalid. Hum, source port is not
actually used?

We send RMU frames with a specific destination MAC address. Can we
validate the destination address for frames we receive.

rate limit this print, so as to avoid the possibility of a DoS.
