Thanks, applied with some cleanup.

Please note that it was a bit inconvenient to build
src/drivers/driver_macsec_linux.c with the current libnl snapshot (and
no release has macsec support included yet). I had to add "enum
macsec_validation_type;" to netlink/route/link/macsec.h to allow
compilation to pass without warnings. That enum is defined in a private
libnl header but referenced here in a public header file and some
compilers will complain about that.. That should really be fixed in
libnl.

Requirement for the recent kernel include/uapi/linux/if_macsec.h is also
making this a bit inconvenient since that is not really included in most
distributions as normal linux/* headers for user space.. Anyway, I guess
this one will get resolved in due time once distributions update their
kernels and a new kernel is going to be needed for MACsec
functionality regardless..
