61f2dcba9a mac802154: add interframe spacing time handling
This patch adds a new interframe spacing time handling into mac802154
layer. Interframe spacing time is a time period between each transmit.
This patch adds a high resolution timer into mac802154 and starts on
xmit complete with corresponding interframe spacing expire time if
ifs_handling is true. We make it variable because it depends if
interframe spacing time is handled by transceiver or mac802154. At the
timer complete function we wake the netdev queue again. This avoids
new frame transmit in range of interframe spacing time.

For synced driver we add no handling of interframe spacing time. This
is currently a lack of support in all synced xmit drivers. I suppose
it's working because the latency of workqueue which is needed to call
spi_sync.

6322d50d87 mac802154: add wpan_phy priv id
This patch adds an unique id for an wpan_phy. This behaviour is mostly
grabbed from wireless stack. This is needed for upcomming patches which
identify the wpan netdev while NETDEV_CHANGENAME in netdev notify function.

c208510351 mac802154: add netdev qeue helpers
This patch adds a new file net/mac802154/util.c which contains utility
functions for drivers, etc. This file contains functions to start and
stop queues for all virtual interfaces, this is useful for asynchronous
handling by driver level.
