The patch attached is straight forward 1 line change in the form of an
upstream cherry pick of commit d2dcba612b357a4687843ad4f46629d219233fd7
to not validate the ISDN net device address prior to interface-up by
nullifying the pointer validate_addr.
Testcase: Without the patch, ISDN ipppX interfaces cannot be configured
and ISDN does not work. With the patch, ISDN now works.
SRU justification:
Impact: ISDN networking does not work at all because ipppX interfaces bugzilla. kernel. org/show_ bug.cgi? id=9923
cannot be configured - c.f.
