Thank you for the note! attached the corrected patch.

There is IPv6 tunnel mode 'any', and IPv4 tunnel mode 'ipv6/ip' (aka
'sit'). It looks to me that attempts to find some substring match
would not make the code much shorter, but definitely less readable.

Subject: [PATCH] Tunnel address family is determined from the tunnel mode

When the tunnel mode already tells the IP address family, "ip tunnel"
command determines it and does not require option "-4"/"-6" to be passed.

This makes possible creating both IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels in one batch.
