Sure.

By the way, I was questioning myself: why is the mac802154 folder
outside of ieee802154? I don't really understand the organization but
as it would massively prevent any of the future changes that I already
prepared to apply correctly, I haven't proposed such a move -yet. But
I would like to know what's the idea behind the current folder
hierarchy?

Thanks,
Miquèl
