The data length is 1, so and since it doesn't include the type and length it
means that the total option length should be 3 bytes. However, 4 bytes are
being parsed.
In Wireshark 1.12.1 you can see within the "Mobility Header Link-Layer Address"
option a "Mobility Header Link-Layer Address option" field, and when clicking
on it you can see 4 bytes are being parsed, even though the option total length
is 3 bytes.
Even with this newer version, the option after this option is still being read
one byte too late.
