I thought the idea was to ensure that every structure is declared.
In this case it appears that the structure happens to be declared
in other include files, so we are lucky. On the other side, if so,
"struct proto", "struct net" and "struct ieee802154_addr" should
probably be declared as well ...

Ultimately, I don't really care one way or another. I just happened
to stumble over it. Fine with me to remove it. Maybe the maintainers
should decide what if anything to do.
