Note that mptcp_pm_parse_entry has this, which should maybe be fixed at
the same time:

	u32 val = nla_get_s32(tb[MPTCP_PM_ADDR_ATTR_IF_IDX]);  
Good catch!
indeed!

This should be fixed in a dedicated patch, because this fixes commit:
ef0da3b8a2f1 ("mptcp: move address attribute into mptcp_addr_info"), a
different commit than the one being fixed here.
int = u32 is unlikely to cause issues AFAIU. We recently applied 
a bunch of such fixes to net-next. I think this can also go to -next.
Good point, in our tree, I will queue this patch for -next:
