Commit 74bc99397438 ("mlxsw: spectrum_router: Veto unsupported RIF MAC addresses") enabled the driver to veto router interface (RIF) MAC addresses that it cannot support. This check should only be performed for interfaces for which the driver actually configures a RIF. A VRF upper is not one of them, so ignore it. Without this patch it is not possible to set an IP address on the VRF device and use it as a loopback.

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.
