... though, now that I found some issues in 3/6, if you would somehow
reformat the ?: expression that's now awkwardly split to two unaligned
lines, that would placate my OCD:

+ err = dcbnl_app_table_setdel(ieee[DCB_ATTR_IEEE_APP_TABLE],
+ netdev, ops->ieee_setapp ?:
+ dcb_ieee_setapp);

(and the one other).
