Make use of the already available brief flag and print the basic details of
the IPv4 or IPv6 neighbour cache in a tabular format for better readability
when the brief output is expected.

$ ip -br neigh

I am guessing you put the device first to be consistent with the output
for the other 2 commands.

Yes, that was my initial thought.

In this case I think the network address should be first then device and
lladdr which is consistent with existing output just removing 'dev'
keyword and flags.

I understand, will send an updated v2 patch now to print the brief output with 
columns in the order that you are suggesting.

Thanks.
