I see why this patch is necessary because in later patches the symbol
duration is set at ".set_channel()" callback like the at86rf230 driver
is doing it.
However there is an old TODO [0]. I think we should combine it and
implement it in ieee802154_set_channel() of "net/mac802154/cfg.c".
Also do the symbol duration setting according to the channel/page when
we call ieee802154_register_hw(), so we have it for the default
settings.

sadly this patch doesn't apply on current net-next/master because
IEEE802154_HW_RX_DROP_BAD_CKSUM is not set.
I agree that it should be set, so we need a patch for it.
