Thank you for your interest!

The address will be settable via iz tool in the future.
Currently IIRC you can use 'ip link set wpan0 address ......'.

That may make sense. However we are trying to make phy drivers support several
MAC interfaces  with different dev addresses on a single radio. Thus
we currently
don't have a way to push a 64-bit address from phy driver to mac802154 level.

We may add it later, though. Anyway, patches are welcome, if they
integrate cleanly.
