An attempt to add invalid address to interface would print "???" string instead of the address family name. For example: $ ip address add 256.10.166.1/24 dev ens8 Error: ??? prefix is expected rather than "256.10.166.1/24". $ ip neighbor add proxy 2001:db8::g dev ens8 Error: ??? address is expected rather than "2001:db8::g". With this patch the output will look like: $ ip address add 256.10.166.1/24 dev ens8 Error: inet prefix is expected rather than "256.10.166.1/24". $ ip neighbor add proxy 2001:db8::g dev ens8 Error: inet6 address is expected rather than "2001:db8::g".

Since this was so trivial, I did change manually since patch was corrupted.
