ok; missed that on the first pass.

Update the commit message to say filtering by "hardware type"

ppp devices have kind set, so ARPHRD_PPP should not be needed.


Also, you have supported hardware types in multiple places - this match
function and the filter.kind check. Make 1 table with supported types
and use that table with helpers or both paths.

Why not allow exclude by "_slave" type? e.g., should all devices but
bridge ports?
