Hi David,
The following commit introduced a new issue when setting IPv6 address
via the following command:
/sbin/ip -6 addr add 2001:0db8:0:f112::1/64 dev enp2s2
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported

ipv6: sr: add support for SRH encapsulation and injection with lwtunnels
This patch creates a new type of interfaceless lightweight tunnel (SEG6),
enabling the encapsulation and injection of SRH within locally emitted
packets and forwarded packets.
>From a configuration viewpoint, a seg6 tunnel would be configured
as follows:
ip -6 ro ad fc00::1/128 encap seg6 mode encap segs
fc42::1,fc42::2,fc42::3 dev eth0
Any packet whose destination address is fc00::1 would thus be encapsulated
within an outer IPv6 header containing the SRH with three
segments, and would
actually be routed to the first segment of the list. If `mode inline' was
specified instead of `mode encap', then the SRH would be directly inserted
after the IPv6 header without outer encapsulation.
The inline mode is only available if CONFIG_IPV6_SEG6_INLINE is
enabled. This
feature was made configurable because direct header insertion may break
several mechanisms such as PMTUD or IPSec AH.

Can you check ? Are we missing something here ?
Thanks,
