4244db1b0b ieee802154: add netlink APIs for smartMAC configuration
Introduce new netlink attributes for SET_PHY_ATTRS:
 * CSMA minimal backoff exponent
 * CSMA maximal backoff exponent
 * CSMA retry limit
 * frame retransmission limit

The CSMA attributes shall correspond to minBE, maxBE and maxCSMABackoffs of
802.15.4, respectively. The frame retransmission shall correspond to
maxFrameRetries of 802.15.4, unless given as -1: then the old behaviour
of the stack shall apply. For RF2xy, the old behaviour is to not do
channel sensing at all and simply send *right now*, which is not
intended behaviour for most applications and actually prohibited for
some channel/page combinations.

For all values except frame retransmission limit, the defaults of
802.15.4 apply. Frame retransmission limits are set to -1 to indicate
backward-compatible behaviour.

6ca001978d ieee802154: add support for setting CCA energy detection levels
Since three of the four clear channel assesment modes make use of energy
detection, provide an API to set the energy detection threshold.
Driver support for this is available in at86rf230 for the RF212 chips.
Since for these chips the minimal energy detection threshold depends on
page and channel used, add a field to struct at86rf230_local that stores
the minimal threshold. Actual ED thresholds are configured as offsets
from this value.

For RF212, setting the ED threshold will not work before a channel/page
has been set due to the dependency of energy detection in the chip and
the actual channel/page selected.

ba08fea53a ieee802154: add support for CCA mode in wpan phys
The standard describes four modes of clear channel assesment: "energy
above threshold", "carrier found", and the logical and/or of these two.
Support for CCA mode setting is included in the at86rf230 driver,
predicated for RF212 chips.

84dda3c648 ieee802154: add support for listen-before-talk in wpan_phy
Listen-before-talk is an alternative to CSMA in uncoordinated networks
and prescribed by european regulations if one wants to have a device
with radio duty cycles above 10% (or less in some bands). Add a phy
property to enable/disable LBT in the phy, including support in the
at86rf230 driver for RF212 chips.

9b2777d608 ieee802154: add TX power control to wpan_phy
Replace the current u8 transmit_power in wpan_phy with s8 transmit_power.
The u8 field contained the actual tx power and a tolerance field,
which no physical radio every used. Adjust sysfs entries to keep
compatibility with userspace, give tolerances of +-1dB statically there.

This patch only adds support for this in the at86rf230 driver and the
RF212 chip. Configuration calculation for RF212 is also somewhat basic,
but does the job - the RF212 datasheet gives a large table with
suggested values for combinations of TX power and page/channel, if this
does not work well, we might have to copy the whole table.

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.

interfaces. Another parameter to 'add_iface_' function is added
to clarify the interface type is going to be registered.

187f1882b5 BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h
If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just
expecting it to be implicitly present.

We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
been causing compile failures/warnings.
