+Subject: utils: Do not reset family for default, any, all addresses
+Patch-mainline: v4.17.0
+Git-commit: d42c7891d26e4d5616a55aac9fe10813767fcf9c
+References: bsc#1091603
+
+Thomas reported a change in behavior with respect to autodectecting
+address families. Specifically, 'ip ro add default via fe80::1'
+syntax was failing to treat fe80::1 as an IPv6 address as it did in
+prior releases. The root causes appears to be a change in family when
+the default keyword is parsed.
+
+'default', 'any' and 'all' are relevant outside of AF_INET. Leave the
+family arg as is for these when setting addr.
+
+Fixes: 93fa12418dc6 ("utils: Always specify family and ->bytelen in get_prefix_1()")
