alex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com 32bad7e30f 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.

alex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com 0606069d9e mac802154: monitor device support
Support for monitor device intended to capture all the network activity.
This interface could be used by networks sniffers and is already
supported by WireShark. That's a good test point to check that basic
MAC support works.

alex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com 90c049b2c6 ieee802154: interface type to be added
This stack implementation distinguishes several types of slave
interfaces. Another parameter to 'add_iface_' function is added
to clarify the interface type is going to be registered.

Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov bb1cafb8fc ieee802154: add support for creation/removal of logic interfaces
Add support for two more NL802154 commands: ADD_IFACE and DEL_IFACE,
thus allowing creation and removal of logic WPAN interfaces on the top
of wpan-phy.
