0001-devd-Use-PF_LOCAL-instead-of-PF_INET.patch

While working on the review D56797, I found a flaw, or rather incompatibility, in devd(8) that prevents media checking when there is no INET support in the system. We can easily fix it by using PF_LOCAL.

The patch was tested on a system without INET support, and it fixes the issue.

    devd: Use PF_LOCAL instead of PF_INET

    Avoid dependency on INET (IPv4) by using PF_LOCAL,
    allowing media check to work on systems without INET support.
