SRU justification: Impact: ISDN networking does not work at all because ipppX interfaces cannot be configured - c.f. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9923
The patch attached is straight forward 1 line change in the form of an upstream cherry pick of commit d2dcba612b357a4687843ad4f46629d219233fd7 to not validate the ISDN net device address prior to interface-up by nullifying the pointer validate_addr. Testcase: Without the patch, ISDN ipppX interfaces cannot be configured and ISDN does not work. With the patch, ISDN now works.
