 works on 5.1.16

Looks like the stricter netlink validation broke userspace.
This is bad.

            Bug ID: 204099
           Summary: systemd-networkd fails on 5.2 - same version works on
                    5.1.16
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 5.2
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: stephen@...workplumber.org
          Reporter: Ian.kumlien@...il.com
        Regression: No

This is more FYI, I haven't had time to properly debug it.

Booting 5.2 causes systemd-networkd to fail to bring any interface up, it will
fail with: "Could not bring up interface: Invalid argument"

However, booting 5.1.16 with the same software works just fine.

Sounds like something was changed in, what I assume is, the netlink API
