4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 3753654e541938717b13f2b25791c3171a3a06aa ]
This reverts commit cd8966e75ed3c6b41a37047a904617bc44fa481f.
The duplicate CHANGEADDR event message is sent regardless of link
status whereas the setlink changes only generate a notification when
the link is up. Not sending a notification when the link is down breaks
dhcpcd which only processes hwaddr changes when the link is down.
Fixes reported regression:
