Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net
Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Slave bond and team devices should not be assigned ipv6 link local
addresses, from Jarod Wilson.
2) Fix clock sink config on some at803x PHY devices, from Oleksij
Rempel.
3) Uninitialized stack space transmitted in slcan frames, fix from
Richard Palethorpe.
4) Guard HW VLAN ops properly in stmmac driver, from Jose Abreu.
5) "=" --> "|=" fix in aquantia driver, from Colin Ian King.
6) Fix TCP fallback in mptcp, from Florian Westphal. (accessing a plain
tcp_sk as if it were an mptcp socket).
7) Fix cavium driver in some configurations wrt. PTP, from Yue Haibing.
8) Make ipv6 and ipv4 consistent in the lower bound allowed for
neighbour entry retrans_time, from Hangbin Liu.
9) Don't use private workqueue in pegasus usb driver, from Petko
Manolov.
10) Fix integer overflow in mlxsw, from Colin Ian King.
11) Missing refcnt init in cls_tcindex, from Cong Wang.
12) One too many loop iterations when processing cmpri entries in ipv6
rpl code, from Alexander Aring.
13) Disable SG and TSO by default in r8169, from Heiner Kallweit.
14) NULL deref in macsec, from Davide Caratti.
