Answering myself here: MSK is a special case of FSK, and GMSK a special case of GFSK. SX1276 allows to switch between LoRa and FSK/OOK modes, and in FSK/OOK mode between FSK and OOK modulation types and for FSK modulation allows to set Gaussian filter values. I assume (G)MSK is selected indirectly through BitRate and Fdev settings or something. So we would just need ETH_P_FSK and ETH_P_OOK plus some skb fields for ETH_P_FSK.
