When we check the length, we only check that the advertised data length fits into the data we have, but currently not that it actually matches correctly. This should be harmless, but if the first two bytes are zero, then the iwl_rx_packet_payload_len() ends up negative, and that might later cause issues if unsigned variables are used, as this is not something that's normally expected. Change the validation here to precisely validate the lengths match, to avoid such issues.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
