mac802154: add default interface registration
This patch adds a default interface registration for a wpan interface type. Currently the 802.15.4 subsystem need to call userspace tools to add an interface. This patch is like mac80211 handling for registration a station interface type by default. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
