I've backported this module for el7. Packages are uploading to the elrepo testing repository now and should be available shortly:

kmod-mac802154_hwsim-0.0-1.el7_8.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

Please can you install and test, and let us know if the module works as expected:

yum --enablerepo=elrepo-testing install kmod-mac802154_hwsim

I've installed and loaded the module, but have not performed any other testing:

# modprobe mac802154_hwsim

# dmesg
