I am not sure that it does what you intends.
mnemonic is an array and a  malicious use may fill it upto the last char
causing strlen go beyond. perhaps this may help:
	nr_route.mnemonic[sizeof(nr_route.mnemonic)-1]=0;
this of cause makes the if() redundant.

while you are here:

	dev = nr_ax25_dev_get(nr_route.device);
	if ( dev == NULL )
		return -EINVAL;

>  		if (nr_route.ndigis < 0 || nr_route.ndigis > AX25_MAX_DIGIS) {

if guess "nr_route.ndigis >= AX25_MAX_DIGIS" is intended ?

hope that helps,
