One thing I mentioned before is that we probably like to have a
parameter for rx path to give mac802154 a hint on which filtering
level it was received. We don't have that, I currently see that this
is a parameter for hwsim receiving it on promiscuous level only and
all others do third level filtering.
We need that now, because the promiscuous mode was only used for
sniffing which goes directly into the rx path for monitors. With scan
we mix things up here and in my opinion require such a parameter and
do filtering if necessary.
