Subject: Revert "dev: set iflink to 0 for virtual interfaces"
From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 95ec655bc465ccb2a3329d4aff9a45e3c8188db5 ]
This reverts commit e1622baf54df8cc958bf29d71de5ad545ea7d93c.
The side effect of this commit is to add a '@NONE' after each virtual
interface name with a 'ip link'. It may break existing scripts.
