It is possible to manually set link address length past 6 at runtime and trying to generate IPv6 IID address that way. This should fail as we could read two bytes past the address buffer. There is no issues in the copying as the target buffer has plenty of space. Coverity-CID: 516232 Signed-off-by: Jukka Rissanen <jukka.rissanen@nordicsemi.no>
