Mesh forwarding path checks for address extension mode to fetch
appropriate proxied address and MPP address. Existing condition
that looks for 6 address format is not strict enough so that
frames with improper values are processed and invalid entries
are added into MPP table. Fix that by adding a stricter check before
processing the packet.
Per IEEE Std 802.11s-2011 spec. Table 7-6g1 lists address extension
mode 0x3 as reserved one. And also Table Table 9-13 does not specify
0x3 as valid address field.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
