WPAN world. Thanks to the recent improvements it was possible to discover nearby devices, it is now also possible to associate with them to form a sub-network using a specific PAN ID. The support includes several functions, such as: * Requesting an association to a coordinator, waiting for the response * Sending a disassociation notification to a coordinator * Receiving an association request when we are coordinator, answering the request (for now all devices are accepted up to a limit, to be refined) * Sending a disassociation notification to a child * Users may request the list of associated devices (the parent and the children). Here are a few example of userspace calls that can be made: iwpan dev <dev> associate pan_id 2 coord $COORD iwpan dev <dev> list_associations iwpan dev <dev> disassociate ext_addr $COORD There are as well two patches from Uwe turning remove callbacks into void functions. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEE9HuaYnbmDhq/XIDIJWrqGEe9VoQFAmWCqiYACgkQJWrqGEe9 VoQxEwf+KzU7esLoTgtIRG+wIQyMaBm8qZ/YNdWwgEiD+kwbybdy258etavumIMN HSKxRypXqJwR+R4b9l6yhrLmwn83HNR0L1oq6sHooBD+Zr90Ac8NNgONcF30iRQS jSiQ3A7H4kTqEaSsZe3olLotVnhTrLvL/TCXt83FPst551Fj0VSDyRnrbETEmq5F s+WJcB8rGYWY6avv5CbWcUDOPPq7yiZlpgcA+qTIDFMUfD90p+xqUZQ2hZKlscMB Ia/FPW3gUufWFGd16d1WBaHD38DoLobfo/6Ou/Sufp+ErW17ZOGl4wNnViXlOpwD 0BUEO6vhtAx+83VYAC522PABWHkxyw== =THkg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ieee802154-for-net-next-2023-12-20' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wpan/wpan-next Miquel Raynal says: ==================== This pull request mainly brings support for dynamic associations in the WPAN world.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
