[IrDA]: Frame length validation.
When using a stir4200-based USB adaptor to talk to a device that uses
an mcp2150, the stir4200 sometimes drops an incoming frame causing the
mcp2150 to try and retransmit the lost frame. In this combination, the
next frame received from the mcp2150 is often invalid - either an
empty i:rsp or an IrCOMM i:rsp with an invalid clen. These corner
cases are now checked.
