+Subject: [PATCH] src/nl_extras.h: fix compatibility with libnl 3.3.0
+
+nl_extras.h defines a set of nla_set_s*() functions if not provided by
+libnl. They are provided by libnl since version 3.2.26. The test
+(LIBNL_VER_MIC <= 26) was working fine while libnl was in the 3.2.x
+series, but now that they have incremented the minor version, the
+micro version was reset to 0, with the latest libnl version being
+3.3.0.
+
+Due to this, the condition (LIBNL_VER_MIC <= 26) is true, and we get
+redefinition errors because nl_extras.h redefines functions already
+provided by libnl.
+
+This commit improves the condition so that nl_extras.h provides the
+missing functions only if the minor version is < 2, or if minor is 2
+and micro is < 26.
