Revision b64b73d7d0c480f75684519c6134e79d50c1b341 authored by stephen hemminger on 03 October 2011, 18:14:45 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 06 October 2011, 19:26:50 UTC
This resolves a regression seen by some users of bridging.
Some users use the bridge like a dummy device.
They expect to be able to put an IPv6 address on the device
with no ports attached. Although there are better ways of doing
this, there is no reason to not allow it.

Note: the bridge still will reflect the state of ports in the
bridge if there are any added.
