OK, how about this patch instead? (Want me to resubmit the series?)
commit fdac3f4b45ad283bf98367d0af4d55e7704d07b5
Author: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Documentation/networking/ieee802154.txt: fix various inaccuracies.
* Update the linux-zigbee git:// repository URL.
* The IEEE 802.15.4 MLME based netlink operations are documented
in include/linux/nl802154.h, not in include/net/nl802154.h.
* The hardmac example driver 'fakehard' was removed some time ago.
* The IEEE 802.15.4 device drivers live in drivers/net/ieee802154/,
not in drivers/ieee802154/.
* The IEEE 802.15.4 MTU is 127 bytes, not 128 bytes.
* Some of the 6LoWPAN code lives in net/6lowpan/.
