Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net-next.git (main)
by Paolo Abeni [off-list ref]:

The Geneve encapsulation, as defined in RFC 8926, has a Protocol Type
field, which states the Ethertype of the payload appearing after the
Geneve header.

Commit 435fe1c0c1f7 ("net: geneve: support IPv4/IPv6 as inner protocol")
introduced a new IFLA_GENEVE_INNER_PROTO_INHERIT flag that allowed the
use of other Ethertypes than Ethernet. However, it did not get rid of a
restriction that prohibits receiving payloads other than Ethernet,
instead the commit white-listed additional Ethertypes, IPv4 and IPv6.
