Hi Henrik,
This patch definitely can be broken into a few smaller ones that add support for
configuring/dumping different cfm parts.

Also, and more importantly, the IFLA_AF_SPEC fix must go to -net as a separate
patch since the problem is there even now. After it gets accepted and -net is
merged into net-next you can rebase on top of it.

Thanks,
 Nik
