Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] cdc_mbim workarounds for firmware bugs

The first patch is an attempt to work around a bug which prevents
some devices from working with IPv6. I guess handling ND in a driver
can be considered controversial, but it was the best alternative I
came up with.

The second is the "final solution" to the well known ZLP bug, which
as we feared is present in a number of devices using different
vendor IDs. Enabling this is definitely controversial, but I do not
see any other possible solution.  The blacklist has become
unmanagable, and I am pretty sure it is very incomplete due to
under-reporting.  Devices known to work without ZLPs can be added
to the whitelist.

Bjørn Mork (2):
  net: cdc_mbim: handle IPv6 Neigbor Solicitations
  net: cdc_mbim: change the default to send ZLPs
