[net-next 1/2] ip6_tunnel: put ip6tnl0 FB device into 'any' mode

The fallback device is in ipv6 mode by default.
The mode can not be changed in runtime, so there
is no way to decapsulate ip4in6 packets coming from
various sources without creating the specific tunnel
ifaces for each peer.

The fallback device is in ipv6 mode by default.
The mode can not be changed in runtime, so there
is no way to decapsulate ip4in6 packets coming from
various sources without creating the specific tunnel
ifaces for each peer.

This allows to update the fallback tunnel device, but only
the mode could be changed.

No, you're right. My fault is I missed the cover letter explaining that 
both patches together are overkill. One should be enough. It could be 
the 1st, but it may cause some compatibility issues. So the maintainer 
could choose either the second or both.

And I'm really sorry for duplicate messages.

I don't think you can legitimately change this after all
these years.  You'll break someone's setup somehow.

You're going to have to find a way to achieve what you
want whilst keeping the default unchanged.

Sorry.
