Subject: sierra_net: Skip validating irrelevant fields for IDLE LSIs
From: Stefan Brüns <stefan.bruens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 764895d3039e903dac3a70f219949efe43d036a0 ]
When the context is deactivated, the link_type is set to 0xff, which
triggers a warning message, and results in a wrong link status, as
the LSI is ignored.
