Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] gre: Revert IPv6 link-local address fix.

Following Paolo's suggestion, let's revert the IPv6 link-local address
generation fix for GRE devices. The patch introduced regressions in the
upstream CI, which are still under investigation.

Start by reverting the kselftest that depend on that fix (patch 1), then
revert the kernel code itself (patch 2).

Guillaume Nault (2):
  Revert "selftests: Add IPv6 link-local address generation tests for
    GRE devices."
  Revert "gre: Fix IPv6 link-local address generation."
