    mac802154: change frame_retries behaviour · 89c7d788
    Alexander Aring authored
    This patch changes the default minimum value of frame_retries to 0 and
    changes the frame_retries default value to 3 which is also 802.15.4
    default.
    
    We don't use the frame_retries "-1" value as indicator for no-aret mode
    anymore, instead we checking on the ack request bit inside the 802.15.4
    frame control field. This allows a acknowledge handling per frame. This
    checking is done by transceiver or inside xmit callback of driver layer.
    
    If a transceiver doesn't support ARET handling the transmit
    functionality ignores ack frames then, which isn't well but should not
    effect anything of current functionality.
