in current Linux, MPTCP peers advertising endpoints with port numbers use
a sub-option length that wrongly accounts for the trailing TCP NOP. Also,
receivers will only process incoming ADD_ADDR with port having such wrong
sub-option length. Fix this, making ADD_ADDR compliant to RFC8684 §3.4.1.
this can be verified running tcpdump on the kselftests artifacts:

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.
