Hi Jiri

I'll make these changes.

Since both IFLA_VLAN_ID and IFLA_RMNET_MUX_ID are 1 from enum, this 
actually
works. I was using VLAN as a reference, so I missed to change this to
IFLA_RMNET_MUX_ID.

Checkpatch complains if it is over 80 chars in a line, so I had to do 
this.
I'll change to a single line.
