We got this UBSAN warning:

UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/ieee802154/nl802154.c:920:44
shift exponent -1 is negative
CPU: 3 PID: 8258 Comm: repro Not tainted 5.13.0+ #222
Call Trace:

NL802154_IFTYPE_UNSPEC is -1, so enum nl802154_iftype type now
is a signed integer, which is assigned by nla_get_u32 in
nl802154_new_interface(), this may cause type is negative and trigger
this warning.

I think this is not the right fix, the fix is to change the UAPI that
NL802154_IFTYPE_UNSPEC fits into the netlink range of U32. I will
prepare a fix for that, it should still be backwards compatible.
