Could you add a patch before this one that adds a

enum state_variable_type {
	STATE_VARIABLE_TYPE_UINT8,
	...
};

Then add the type to struct variable_type and test for the type
rather than for the string name? I think in the longer run this will be
nicer when we get additional tests for the variable_type.

memcpy?

So '6' is the return value for successfully calling this function. This
is the length of the MAC Address, but does this add any value? Better
use a negative error code and '0' for success.
