With this patch, passing IFLA_RMNET_FLAGS in newlink vs changelink will 
have
different behavior. Is that inline with your expectations.

I checked VLAN and it seems to be using the same behavior for both the 
operations.
While the patch itself is fine, I don't think its right to have 
different
behavior for the operations.

My suggestion is to have the subject prefix as [PATCH net-next] since 
this
is an enhancement rather than fixing something which is broken.
