True.
Actually the ieee802154_addr structure uses an enum to store either
the short address or the extended addres, while at the MAC level I'd
like to compare with what I call a ieee802154_pan_device: the PAN
device is part of a list defining the associated neighbors and contains
both an extended address and a short address once associated.
I do not want to compare the PAN ID here and I do not need to compare
if the modes are different because the device the code is running on
is known to have both an extended address and a short address field
which have been initialized.
With all these constraints, I think it would require more code to
re-use that small function than just writing a slightly different one
here which fully covers the "under association/disassociation" case, no?

Thanks for the link!
