[Bridge] [PATCH net-next] netlink: provide an ability to set default extack message
...; whereas before, we relied on any NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD() call to overwrite
> the "warning" extack, and that to only be shown on error code 0.
Can we please discuss current code and not over-engineered case which
doesn't exist in the reality?
Even for your case, I would like to see NL_SET_ERR_MSG_FORCE() to
explicitly say that message will be overwritten.
Thanks
