| According to the IPv6 API RFC, if val is -1, the kernel shall pick the default

Yes exactly that is the point, but it does not work since np->tclass is __u8, i.e.
val will not be negative here.

What you refer to is done in the second patch and in the combination I think it
will work, please have a look.
