Some rtnetlink selftests assume the presence of ifconfig and iproute2 support for the `proto` keyword in `ip address` commands. These assumptions can cause test failures on modern systems (e.g. Debian Bookworm) where: - ifconfig is not installed by default - The iproute2 version lacks support for address protocol This patch improves test robustness by: - Skipping kci_test_promote_secondaries if ifconfig is missing - Skipping do_test_address_proto if ip address help does not mention proto These changes ensure the tests degrade gracefully by reporting SKIP instead of FAIL when prerequisites are not met, improving portability across systems.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
