There are more functions and operations which must be used or implemented
in each IEEE 802.15.4 device driver, but are not mentioned in the Device
drivers API section of Documentation/networking/ieee802154.txt. Therefore,
I want to fulfill the missed part into the documentation with this patch.

The function declaration in the lastest include/net/mac802154.h has been
changed since v3.19.
ieee802154_alloc_device => ieee802154_alloc_hw
ieee802154_free_device => ieee802154_free_hw
ieee802154_register_device => ieee802154_register_hw
ieee802154_unregister_device => ieee802154_unregister_hw
However, the description in the Device drivers API section of
Documentation/networking/ieee802154.txt is still in the state of
v3.18.63.

This updates some out of date documentation and fixes some wrong assumptions as
well as pure grammar fixes. This file needs to move towards the new kernel doc
system and getting an overhaul during this work.

* Update the linux-zigbee git:// repository URL.
* Remove the MLME section as the current kernel does not provide a
full 802.15.4 MLME implementation.
* The hardmac example driver 'fakehard' was removed some time ago.
* The IEEE 802.15.4 device drivers live in drivers/net/ieee802154/,
not in drivers/ieee802154/.
* The IEEE 802.15.4 MTU is 127 bytes, not 128 bytes.
* Some of the 6LoWPAN code lives in net/6lowpan/.

Check for NULL before calling the following operations from "struct
ieee802154_mlme_ops": assoc_req, assoc_resp, disassoc_req, start_req,
and scan_req.
This fixes a current oops where those functions are called but not
implemented. It also updates the documentation to clarify that they
are now optional by design. If a call to an unimplemented function
is attempted, the kernel returns EOPNOTSUPP via netlink.
The following operations are still required: get_phy, get_pan_id,
get_short_addr, and get_dsn.
Note that the places where this patch changes the initialization
of "ret" should not affect the rest of the code since "ret" was
always set (again) before returning its value.
