It's only an internal header which is used by c-files inside net/mac802154.
I am not sure the right handling of this kind of fix. That's why I said
to Marcel bluetooth-next or even bluetooth.

The header-guard working right now because the internal-header is included
only once in a c-file in "net/mac802154".

I currently imagine the following situation, when a stable patch comes in
and add a:

#include "driver-ops.h" 

in another internal header like "ieee802154_i.h" which is also part of
net/mac802154/ directory. Then the build will fail afterwards, but I
don't plan to send such patch to stable.

Nevertheless, then some build robots should notice about that. If nobody other
complains here, then I am fine to put this into bluetooth-next.
