Thanks.

Thinking aloud:

I see that above the lines added by this patch are documentation
for the variables seg6_require_hmac and seg6_enabled. Which
are per interface. And thus documented correctly.

And below the lines added by the patch is only seg6_flowlabel.
Which, as the patch description says, are global rather than
per interface. And with this patch that is now documented correctly too.

I also agree that this problem was introduced by the cited commit.

And as a documentation correction it seems appropriate for net.
