It appears that there is a typo in the code where the nlattr array is
being parsed with policy br_cfm_cc_ccm_tx_policy, but the instance is
being accessed via IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_CC_RDI_INSTANCE, which is associated
with the policy br_cfm_cc_rdi_policy.

Though it seems like a harmless typo since these two enum owns the exact
same value (1 here), it is quite misleading hence fix it by using the
correct enum IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_CC_CCM_TX_INSTANCE here.

Thanks Lin Ma,

I agree with your analysis, that the problem was introduced in the
cited commit, and that it is resolved by your patch.

However, as there is no user-visible bug I don't believe this reaches
the bar for a 'fix' for Networking code. Accordingly, I think that
the Fixes tag should be dropped. And, instead cited commit can be mentioned
using something like "This problem was introduced by commit ...".

Also, as I don't think it is a fix I think it should be targeted at the
net-next tree:

	Subject: [PATCH net-next vX] ...

The above nits notwithstanding,
