    enhancements:

    - wireless: Fix EAP inconsistencies and add missing auth method names to
    translation maps. (bsc#936514, bsc#927615)
    - fsm: Do not terminate with a segmentation fault on device hierarchy
    loops. (bsc#959356)
    - fsm: Handle down/step back events in ifup flow instead of trying to
    workaround in nanny. (bsc#955864)
    - ethtool: Map da,none,other port types. (bsc#957944)
    - ipv4: Remove pointless broadcast calculations and send to the kernel
    only if explicitly requested in ifcfg file or by dhcp options. The
    kernel has its own logic to automatically calculate related settings as
    needed. Also removed broadcast setting from ifcfg-lo to not override
    kernel's setup. (bsc#944710)
    - rpm: Do not use systemctl show in scripts. (bsc#955778)
    - nanny: Skip recheck when no policy configured. (bsc#953107)
