Networkd: LinkLocalAddressing=fallback with MaxAttempts=infinity #13316

Description

@ratagupt

I came across a requirement why the link-local address exists with other IP addresses for IPv4.

Suppose if I enable the link-local address through systemd-networkd then as per the existing

behavior, link-local address(169.254..) will always exist on the interface irrespective of whether static/dynamic address exists or not.

The expectation is if either static/DHCP address exist then the zero-config address should not come even if the zeroconf functionality is enabled.

Is it correct expectation? is it aligned with other operating systems which is not using systemd-networkd as the network manager?
