Thank you for looking at these MPTCP selftests and for having reported
these issues.

We are looking at having MPTCP selftests supporting previous kernel
versions but that's not easy because our selftests are verifying some
internal behaviours, not just what is exposed to the uAPI, e.g. what
network packets are being sent, etc.. Also, some socket options and
counters -- like what you reported here above with diag.sh -- were
returning 0 before being implemented in MPTCP: so we need to accept that
these counters might not work, that's not ideal for a test that wants to
check if they work :)

Anyway, for those who wants to follow the evolution, patches have been
shared on our mailing list:

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/list/?series=749868&state=*

Cheers,
Matt
