Contribution description
This device should get its own device type similar to the
cc110x
as it is its own protocol. UsingNETDEV_TYPE_RAW
might lead to problems in the long run if other devices use the same device type but have different addressing schemes.Testing procedure
Applications using IPv6 ESP-Now should still work as before (can't test since I don't have access to these kind of devices).
Issues/PRs references
None so far, but goes towards an effort to improve device-type-based address handling for
gnrc_netif
