Sorry, I thought that was the missing "net-next" tag in the subject.

This patch is a fix for the compression of an address. To make the right
compression on a link-local address.

So this patch has nothing to do for the address uncompression fix
(the patch serie should fix the uncompression of addresses). This is a
bigger patch serie because we make a major rewrite of this function.

The order doesn't matter for this patch. Necessary is that the patch
series will apply in the order 1 to 6. So you can apply this patch
before or afterwards the patch-series.

I can understand that. This patches only fixes some address behaviour
which is in the current implementation wrong. But there are several
other problems with the current 6LoWPAN implementation.
I don't know which is the right place for these patches, because it is
a big change and the 6LoWPAN implementation is broken anyway.

Ok, please let me know what should I do to submit it properly.

Thanks
