From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@xxxxxxxxxx> As mentioned in the 'Fixes' commit, the port flag is only supported by the 'signal' flag, and not by the 'subflow' one. Then if both the 'signal' and 'subflow' flags are set, the problem is the same: the feature cannot work with the 'subflow' flag. Technically, if both the 'signal' and 'subflow' flags are set, it will be possible to create the listening socket, but not to establish a subflow using this source port. So better to explicitly deny it, not to create some confusions because the expected behaviour is not possible.
