How is this supposed to handle all different types of Multi-Link
element? Is this only for the Basic Multi-Link element? If so, shouldn't
this verify that the element being parsed here does indeed have the Type
subfield set to 0 (Basic) before trying to parse the Common Info field?
It would also seem reasonable to verify that the Common Info Length
field has a value that is large enough to include the MLD MAC Address
field.
