Yes, this patch series fix to remove FF:FE pattern and change addr_len
from 8 to 6.

You need to change _everything_ to reconstruct the L3 address from L2
address in IPHC code, if you doing that. Because this code thinks still
"we have 8 bytes with FF:FE pattern". This patch series makes more
broken than repairing it!

That's why my Patch series simple remove old code and introduce new
code... When you doing it clean: You need to touch every handling,
that's why 1. remove btle 6lowpan 2. make address handling 3. add new code.

It's not true for stateful compression, for stateless - okay yes you are
right.
