Validate buffer length has the minimum needed size
when sending management frame to protect against
possible buffer overrun.

I noticed this is already applied, but I saw this subject text which has similar sound to a recent patch in our driver so I it made me curious...

A similar check is already in net/wireless/cfg80211_mlme_mgmt_tx() which calls this function:

	if (params->len < 24 + 1)
		return -EINVAL;

So it only makes sense if this is called from some other call site....

... which is in this function. Now I wonder why you would need this method in the first place. Why not stick with using the nl80211 NL80211_CMD_FRAME api?
