mac802154: allocation of ieee802154 device An interface to allocate and register ieee802154 compatible device. The allocated device has the following representation in memory: +-----------------------+ \| struct wpan_phy \| +-----------------------+ \| struct mac802154_priv \| +-----------------------+ \| driver's private data \| +-----------------------+ Used by device drivers to register new instance in the stack.

mac802154: add wpan device-class support Every real 802.15.4 transceiver, which works with software MAC layer, can be classified as a wpan device in this stack. So the wpan device implementation provides missing link in datapath between the device drivers and the Linux network queue. According to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard each packet can be one of the following types: - beacon - MAC layer command - ACK - data This patch adds support for the data packet-type only, but this is enough to perform data transmission and receiving over radio.
