netdevice: add ieee802154_ptr to net_device
This patch adds an ieee802154_ptr to the net_device structure. Furthermore the 802.15.4 subsystem will introduce a nl802154 framework which is similar like the nl80211 framework and a wpan_dev structure. The wpan_dev structure will hold additional net_device attributes like address options which are 802.15.4 specific. In the upcoming nl802154 implementation we will introduce a NL802154_FLAG_NEED_WPAN_DEV like NL80211_FLAG_NEED_WDEV. For this flag an ieee802154_ptr in net_device is needed. Additional we can access the wpan_dev attributes in upper layers like IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN easily. Current solution is a complicated callback interface and getting these values over subif data structure in mac802154. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Acked-by: David S.
