Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net-next.git (main)

At the current moment, the logs for martian packets are as follows:
martian source {DST} from {SRC}, on dev {DEV}
martian destination {DST} from {SRC}, dev {DEV}
These messages feel rather hard to understand in production, especially
the "martian source" one, mostly because it is grammatically ambitious
to parse which part is now the source address and which part is the
destination address.  For example, "{DST}" may there be interpreted as
the actual source address due to following the word "source", thereby
implying the actual source address to be the destination one.
