The "channel" variable can be any u8 value.  We need to make sure we
don't read outside of the PLL_INT[] or PLL_FRAC[] arrays.

This patch is obviously harmless, but it's from static analysis.  I'm
pretty sure this is required, but I can't swear.

Oh...  Hm...  I should have reviewed more carefully.  This patch isn't
correct.  But there may still be a bug.  What Smatch is worried about is
the other call tree:

ieee802154_start_req() calls (struct ieee802154_mlme_ops)->start_req
  -> mac802154_mlme_start_req()
     -> mac802154_dev_set_page_channel()
        -> drv_set_channel() calls local->ops->set_channel(&local->hw, page, channel);
           -> mcr20a_set_channel()

So maybe we could move the check from nl802154_set_channel() to
drv_set_channel() so channel is checked on both call trees.
