The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has recently assigned a protocol number value of 143 for Ethernet [1]. Before this assignment, encapsulation mechanisms such as Segment Routing used the IPv6-NoNxt protocol number (59) to indicate that the encapsulated payload is an Ethernet frame. In this patch, we add the definition of the Ethernet protocol number to the kernel headers and update the SRv6 L2 tunnels to use it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
