Dear Pauli,
Thank you for your patch.

Bluetooth 6lowpan.c netdev has header_ops, so it must set link-local
header for RX skb, otherwise things crash, eg. with AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW
Add missing skb_reset_mac_header() for uncompressed ipv6 RX path.
For the compressed one, it is done in lowpan_header_decompress().
