Subject: Re: [PATCH] net bridge: remove unused field


The only reason i made an exception of this one is because:
a) nothing in the kernel touches it
b) nothing in iproute2 touches it
c) the intended logic to transport the hairpin knob is now
in IFLA_BRPORT_MODE

But: I empathize;-> Your call

cheers,
jamal
