Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/4] ieee802154: clean up header handling

This series of patches cleans up handling of 802.15.4 headers in ieee802154 and
mac802154. Particularly, it introduces new functions to read and modify headers
and removes the address fields in the skb cb block in favour of these
functions. This set also fixes a bug that caused parts of an 802.15.4 header to
be delivered to dgram sockets in userspace due to misparsed headers, and moves
mac frame sequence number generation from upper layers into the netdev that
actually handles them.
