There is no ccmni driver in the tree - is this for non-upstream driver?ccmni is the name of MediaTek mobile interface, currently, it is non-upstream driver and we plan to upstream these driver codes this year. Honestly, the reason why upstreamed this patch is not only that it can be used by ccmni, but also I observed that the current Linux kernel does not generate ipv6 link-local address only when addr_gen_mode == IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_NONE. We hope kernel can add a device type so that no ipv6 link-local address can be generated in any addr_gen_mode.gentle ping for this patch set.
We don't merge patches without upstream users.
