-Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2025 14:39:47 +0200
-Subject: lib: bridge: avoid redefinition of in6_addr
-
-On musl libc, which does not use the kernel definitions of in6_addr, including
-the libc headers after the kernel (UAPI) headers would cause a redefinition
-error. The opposite order avoids the redefinition.

-Fixes: 9e89d5b94d749f37525cd8778311e1c9f28f172a
