Subject: [PATCH next] ca8210: Fix unsigned mac_len comparison with zero in ca8210_skb_tx()

mac_len is of type unsigned, which can never be less than zero.

	mac_len = ieee802154_hdr_peek_addrs(skb, &header);
	if (mac_len < 0)
		return mac_len;

Change this to type int as ieee802154_hdr_peek_addrs() can return negative
integers, this is found by static analysis with smatch.

Fixes: ded845a781a5 ("ieee802154: Add CA8210 IEEE 802.15.4 device driver")
