Hi,

this patch-series implement the already existed SET commands of an interface
and a wpan-phy. Currently we have one CMD for each setting which was a mistake
by me to implement it in this way. So we aren't currently a "real" UAPI header
for nl802154 and it's still under development. I decide now to change to
implement these setting in this way now. Currently I let these commands in
coexistens with the old commands but _NOTE_ I will remove the other commands
from the nl802154 later.

So please use the new commands. When these patches are mainline I also want to
release a new wpan-tools release which use this new interface. Then everybody
has some time to change to the new wpan-tools release. After this "time" I will
remove the obsolete nl802154 commands from the header. This means older
wpan-tools releases doesn't work any more with new kernels. Also this means
newer wpan-tools releases doesn't work with older kernels. That will end in
some kind of chaos and I will note this on the website.

This beahviour to do it in only one command is much easier to handle in
userspace, like clicking an "apply button".

- Alex
