Subject: Re: 6.16.3-rc1 review

UDP broadcast is broken in this kernel - the destination ethernet address field is mangled. See:

 https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/20250823121336.18492-4-bacs@librecast.net/

As this is bug-for-bug compatible with mainline, I believe stable policy is to
wait until this is fixed there before backporting a fix.

All other Librecast network tests passing.
