The device has a trap for IPv6 packets that need be routed and have a unicast link-local destination IP (i.e., fe80::/10). This allows mlxsw to ignore link-local routes, as the packets will be trapped to the CPU in any case. However, since link-local routes are not programmed, it is possible for routed packets to hit the default route which might also be programmed to trap packets. This means that packets with a link-local destination IP might be trapped for the wrong reason. To overcome this, allow programming link-local prefix routes (usually one fe80::/64 per-table), so that the packets will be forwarded until reaching the link-local trap. Signed-off-by:
