All of those cflags modifications in net/ieee802154/Makefile are bogus,
I'll commit the following:

--------------------
ieee802154: Remove hacked CFLAGS in net/ieee802154/Makefile

It adds -Wall (which the kernel carefully controls already) and of all
things -DDEBUG (which should be set by other means if desired, please
we have dynamic-debug these days).

Kill this noise.
