Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] mlxsw: spectrum: Forward packets with an IPv4 link-local source IP

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@...dia.com>

By default, the device does not forward IPv4 packets with a link-local
source IP (i.e., 169.254.0.0/16). This behavior does not align with the
kernel which does forward them.

Fix by instructing the device to forward such packets instead of
dropping them.

Fixes: ca360db4b825 ("mlxsw: spectrum: Disable DIP_LINK_LOCAL check in hardware pipeline")
