drivers/sx126x: always report back that netdev is LoRa

maribu · maribu · commit f16ceb3326f8 · 2025-11-07T10:26:05.000+01:00
No network stack in RIOT is prepared for hardware to change its
device type at runtime. Especially the unknown network device is just
not handled and causes assertions to blow.

Instead, the driver now just returns to be a LoRa radio regardless of
configured modulation.
