v2 cover mac802154: iface: better concurrent iface handling

This patch series contains changes for a better multiple iface handling. We have only one phy with several mac parameters like csma, aret, etc. Currently it could be that one interface can overwrite these parameters while ifup when another interface is currently running. To avoid that we compare each parameter and check if differs, if not we allow to ifup the interface.

changes since v2:
- fix mixed comments and variable declaration.

PATCH v2 1/2 mac802154: iface: check concurrent ifaces

This patch adds a check for concurrent interfaces while calling interface up. This avoids to have different mac parameters on one phy. Otherwise it could be that a interface can overwrite current phy mac settings which is set by an another interface.

PATCH v2 2/2 ieee802154: iface: move multiple node type check

In reply to Alexander Aring

This patch moves the handling for checking on multiple node type interface to the corresponding concurrent iface check function.
