Those are wireless networking drivers.
Is there a framework for them or all will come under Wireless device drivers or network device drivers?What is the appropriate mailing list for the same?
linux-wireless at vger.kernel.org
Few example of such devices are - Sub-1 GHz CC1120-CC1190 - From Texas Instruments nRF905 - From Nordic Semiconductor nRF9E5 - From Nordic Semiconductor nRF24L01 - From Texas Instruments Si4455 - From Silicon Labs OL23xx - From Nxp.
Those are almost always integrated directly into a wifi chipset, and not independant. If you have an independant device, the GNU Radio project might be a good thing to look into. good luck! greg k-h
