dhcpcd spamming the syslog with "eth0: invalid prefix in RA"

Hello,
Unless I disable noipv6rs, dhcpcd will write the following to the syslog
every few seconds:
eth0: invalid prefix in RA
ipv6nd_handlera: Success
Writing to the log so much (every few seconds) causes a lot of nuisance,
including obscuring other log messages and causing constant disk writes so
that the disk never rests.
In addition, I did not find a solution to fix "invalid prefix in RA" and
what the actual root cause is. Nothing in my system is broken so it might
be a non-issue. The best reference on the internet I found is this post, in
which they also have no real clue:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139302
So I have two requests:
-Is it possible to avoid writing to the log so often please? If the message
is in there once, it would be sufficient.
-What is the actual problem of "invalid prefix in RA", and how to fix? Does
it not like my router? It seems to be in ipv6nd.c.
Thanks!
