This will silently break disabling replay protection on an existing
device. This:

    ip link set macsec0 type macsec replay off

would now appear to succeed but will not do anything. That's why I
used an int with -1 in iproute, and a U8 netlink attribute rather a
flag.

I think this would be a better fix:

 	if (replay_protect != -1) {
-		addattr32(n, MACSEC_BUFLEN, IFLA_MACSEC_WINDOW, window);
+		if (replay_protect)
+			addattr32(n, MACSEC_BUFLEN, IFLA_MACSEC_WINDOW, window);
 		addattr8(n, MACSEC_BUFLEN, IFLA_MACSEC_REPLAY_PROTECT,
 			 replay_protect);
 	}

Does that work for all your test cases?
