raw_proto just denotes that inner_proto of ETH_P_TEB should not be
treated specially. Guessing any other special meaning based on this
flag would be unexpected and confusing. Specifically,
__iptunnel_pull_header doesn't have and should not have any notion of
the device type; although all current users of raw_proto == true are of
ARPHRD_NONE type, it's not a requirement.

I agree. I'll respin the patch.
Thanks!
