net: cdc_mbim: reject IP packets on DSS VLANs
DSS VLANs are pseudo network interfaces representing arbitrary data streams, and specifically not IP. Preventing spurious IP packets can sometimes be a hassle. The kernel will for example send an IPv6 Router Solicit when the interface is brought up unless the user has been careful enough to disable IPv6 first. Such packets forwared to a MBIM DSS session will look like spurious noise to the device, and can cause it to log an error or even malfunction. Drop all IP packets on the designated DSS VLANs to prevent such unwanted spurious transmissions.
