Description Thomas Haller 2017-01-02 15:44:48 UTC 
the parent device is tracked and exposed on D-Bus by Macvlan, Vlan, Vxlan, IPTunnel, Veth (as "peer").

However, it is easily possible to confuse the tracking of the parent. Recent libnl prints then a message about non-existing D-Bus objects.

Fix that by let the NMDevice base implementation track the parent device.
