GSoC Project Status Report: Upstream wpanusb and bcfserial Drivers

Executive Summary

Based on comprehensive analysis of your GSoC project repositories, here's the current status and remaining work:

Current Implementation Status

✅ wpanusb Driver (bb-gsoc-wpanusb) - SIGNIFICANTLY ADVANCED

Completed Features:

• Advanced driver operations implemented: set_txpower, set_cca_mode, set_frame_retries, set_cca_ed_level, set_csma_params, set_promiscuous_mode, set_lbt
• Dynamic capability discovery: Device info, hardware caps, PHY caps, power levels, channel pages
• Enhanced parameter validation: IEEE 802.15.4 compliance checks
• Dual-band support: 2.4GHz and Sub-GHz radio handling
• Extended address handling: Permanent address reading with fallback
• Error handling: Comprehensive validation and error reporting
• Memory management: Dynamic allocation cleanup

Key Improvements from Stefan's Original Concerns:

1. ✅ Missing driver ops now implemented with proper validation
2. ✅ Dynamic capability discovery replaces hardcoded values
3. ✅ Proper extended address handling
4. ⚠️ Still uses some hardcoded channels as fallback

🔶 wpanusb_bc Firmware (bb-gsoc-wpanusb_bc) - PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED
