The TCPv6 code requires the src to be scoped (or SO_BINDTODEVICE to be
used prior). If src is scoped then it is optional to scope dest, but
if dest is scoped then it must match. I intended to capture that logic..

Can you give a quick test and send a git format-patch/checkpatch'd
patch to Roland, with your signed off line, etc. You can put a
Reviewed-by line from me as well if you like.

Thanks,
