Your email client corrupted the patch, it has turned tab characters
into spaces.

You should also be sure to post your networking patches to
netdev@vger.kernel.org as that's where the networking developers
listen.

Please also provide a proper Signed-off-by: line for your patch (see
linux/Docuemtnation/SubmittingPatches, section 5).

Thanks.

Two is used in the wrong context here, as you are connecting to an IPv6 network
over IPv4; not connecting two IPv6 networks to an IPv4 one.
