Ah, sorry.

In general I agree, but in this case, mfp_t is used in this header file,
so every piece of code which includes colibri.h will need both
<mach/mfp.h> and <net/ax88796.h>. And as this is a rule for all users, I
think the right place for the inclusion is the header file?

Apart from that, this fix will work for both mainline and -stable, which
makes things easier :)
