====================
pull request: bluetooth-next 2016-12-03

Here's a set of Bluetooth & 802.15.4 patches for net-next (i.e. 4.10
kernel):

 - Fix for a potential NULL deref in the ieee802154 netlink code
 - Fix for the ED values of the at86rf2xx driver
 - Documentation updates to ieee802154
 - Cleanups to u8 vs __u8 usage
 - Timer API usage cleanups in HCI drivers

Please let me know if there are any issues pulling. Thanks.

 of protocols for organizing Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks.
 
 The stack is composed of three main parts:
  - IEEE 802.15.4 layer;  We have chosen to use plain Berkeley socket API,
-   the generic Linux networking stack to transfer IEEE 802.15.4 messages
