The softMAC stack has no meaning outside of the IEEE 802.15.4 stack and
cannot be used without it.

Please fold this patch into the previous one moving the Kconfig option around. This can be done in one go.

Sure.

By the way, I was questioning myself: why is the mac802154 folder
outside of ieee802154? I don't really understand the organization but
as it would massively prevent any of the future changes that I already
prepared to apply correctly, I haven't proposed such a move -yet. But
I would like to know what's the idea behind the current folder
hierarchy?

The directory structure has been in place from the initial merge of the subsystem, before Alex and myself took on the maintainer roles.

I see no reason for a move though. The extra burden for backports, etc outweigh the urge of cleanliness on the folder structure. :-)

The Kconfig cleanup and move of the file is worth doing, the move of the whole source code folder not.

regards
Stefan Schmidt
