* whereas we never let the driver know at any time of what different
filter levels exist _currently_ we have only the promiscuous mode
on/off switch which is do nothing or 4_FRAME_FIELDS.
It will work for now, changing anything in the mac802154 filtering
fields or something will end in probably breakage in this handling. In
my point of view as the current state is it should not do that, as
remember that hwsim will "simulate" hardware it should not be able to
access mac802154 fields (especially when doing receiving of frames) as
other hardware will only set register bits (as hwsim pib values is
there for)...

Still I think it's fine for now.
