Subject: [PATCH wpan-next 1/6] net: ieee802154: Drop coordinator interface type

The current enum is wrong. A device can either be an RFD, an RFD-RX, an
RFD-TX or an FFD. If it is an FFD, it can also be a coordinator. While
defining a node type might make sense from a strict software point of
view, opposing node and coordinator seems meaningless in the ieee
802.15.4 world. As this enumeration is not used anywhere, let's just
drop it. We will in a second time add a new "node type" enumeration
which apply only to nodes, and does differentiates the type of devices
mentioned above.
