Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 4/4] ieee802154: remove seq member of mac_cb

The seq member is only used to initialize the sequence number field of
the 802.15.4 header. This field has relevance only for low-level
functionality like frame acknowledgement and is of no importance to
upper layers. Upper layers should not be allowed to set this field at
all.
