I fixed this with the following commit:
commit 8571f58f23763d8db7365d02c9b27832ad3d7005

neigh: Remove check for AF_UNSPEC in rtnl_neigh_get()
This check was introduces to not accidently return AF_BRIDGE objects
to unaware API users as they do differ in structure. However, such
objects are only available if explicitely requests using the
NL_CACHE_AF_ITER flag or by using arg1 == AF_BRIDGE for the cache.
Therefore remove this check and allow rtnl_neigh_get() to be used to
fetch any neighbor object of a cache.
