gcc warning this:

drivers/net/ieee802154/ca8210.c:730:10: warning:
 comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]

'len' is u8 type, we get it from buf[1] adding 2, which can overflow.
This patch change the type of 'len' to unsigned int to avoid this,also fix
the gcc warning.

WPAN maintainers, I am assuming that as maintainers you will be
picking this up and sending it to me.

That's correct. On driver patches I always wait 2 days or so to give the
driver maintainer a chance to reply before I go ahead and apply it.

I will take this one directly now and do some smoke testing. It will
come together with another fix as pull request to you.
