Sending a RA with ltime = 0 does not get us added to the default router
list, but the options (and therefore the RIO) are still parsed.
This even appears to work with Linux as a receiver.
The `coap_socket_t` and `coap_socket_type_t` types are used by gCoAP
only and the `coap_` prefix is usually used to namespace the `nanocoap`
module's API. This makes it confusing to locate the types in question.

Prefix delegation used to be the only supported feature of our DHCPv6
client, but by now it also supports MUD, DNS recursive name servers and
IA_NA is on the horizon. So it makes sense to make IA_PD an optional
module like all those other features are as well.
This commit implements uplink redundancy in GNRC LoRaWAN. Uplink
redundancy is used to retransmit unconfirmed uplink frames. The
retransmission stops when either a downlink message is received or the
number of uplink retransmissions is reached.
This functionality doesn't affect confirmed uplinks.
There is no real reason for that pseudo-module to use the `gnrc_`
prefix. Neither does it need GNRC-components (except, but optionally, as
a network stack of course), nor is it implemented with in the GNRC
network stack.
A lot of things break if `GNRC_NETIF_FLAGS_HAS_L2ADDR` is not set.
In order to handle router advertisements and auto-configureation,
generate a faux l2 address based on the netdev ID.
This commit removes the dependency to xtimer and RIOT messages.
This step is required to use other sources of events (e.g event_queue)
and timers (RTT)
The EUI provider function only gets the index of a device within it's
device type.
Using NETDEV_ANY with two devices of different type causes the EUI
provider to be used for both (since both interfaces are index 0 of
their type).
To prevent this, require EUI providers to be locked to an interface type.
Reasoning:
- Many drivers already just generate these events regardless of configuration.
This will make behavior more consistent
- Run time configuration increases ROM, complexity and maintaining
effort
- At least NETOPT_TX_END_IRQ is now de facto mandatory, as the new
netdev driver API requires NETDEV_EVENT_TX_COMPLETE to always be
generated.
- Adds capabilities for each PHY mode. Converts the uint16_t caps field to an
uint32_t in order to hold all capability bits, size of the structure remains
unchanged due to alignment.
- Modifies the test application to configure the PHY mode using the shell
command. Also adds the PHY modes to the capabilities shell command.
- Updates the nrf802154 and cc2538 radio drivers to specify the PHY mode
supported.

The new `gnrc_tx_sync` module allows users of the GNRC network stack to
synchronize with the actual transmission of outgoing packets. This is directly
integrated into gnrc_sock. Hence, if `gnrc_tx_sync` is used, calls to e.g.
sock_udp_send() will block until the network stack has processed the message.
Use cases:
1. Prevent packet drop when sending at high rate
- If the application is sending faster than the stack can handle, the
message queues will overflow and outgoing packets are lost
2. Passing auxiliary data about the transmission back the stack
- When e.g. the number of required retransmissions, the transmission time
stamp, etc. should be made available to a user of an UDP sock, a
synchronization mechanism is needed
3. Simpler error reporting without footguns
- The current approach of using `core/msg` for passing up error messages is
difficult to use if other message come in. Currently, gnrc_sock is
busy-waiting and fetching messages from the message queue until the number
of expected status reports is received. It will enqueue all
non-status-report messages again at the end of the queue. This has
multiple issues:
- Busy waiting is especially in lower power scenarios with time slotted
MAC protocols harmful, as the CPU will remain active and consume
power even though the it could sleep until the TX slot is reached
- The status reports from the network stack are send to the user thread
blocking. If the message queue of the user thread is full, the network
stack would block until the user stack can fetch the messages. If
another higher priority thread would start sending a message, it
would busy wait for its status reports to completely come in. Hence,
the first thread doesn't get CPU time to fetch messages and unblock
the network stack. As a result, the system would lock up completely.
- Just adding the error/status code to the gnrc_tx_sync_t would preallocate
and reserve memory for the error reporting. That way gnrc_sock does not
need to search through the message queue for status reports and the
network stack does not need to block for the user thread fetching it.
