dhcpcd-discuss

I'm trying to run Apple BonjourConformanceTest 1.5.0 to test my device with
dhcpcd.

In particular this *ipv4 Link-Local sub-test called "Cable Change Handling"*
:
*Cable Change Handling ("hot-plugging")
*The operator disconnects and reconnects the device's network cable.  The
test tool verifies that *the device repeats its address probing to verify
that its address is still unique.  The test tool *denies the first probe
and verifies that the device picks a new address and probes/announces
*again.  It is a warning if the device does not use its original address as
its first probing candidate.

When I was using dhcpcd 6.11.5 this test was ok, but with dhcpcd 7.0.8 it
throws an error.

This is the log (with only the relevant part, but if you want I can share
the full log):

Please unplug the device's network cable for ten seconds and then reconnect.
For a device being tested over its wireless interface, cause the interface
to
disassociate from the access point and then re-associate with the access

As you can see there is this error: "*ERROR   12:19:08.721996: Device did
not check if it's original address was in use before probing for a new
address  ...continuing*"
With dhcpcd 6.0.8 this wasn't happening.

To run this test I executed dhcpcd with -d -B and this is the full log.
The important part in the last one, after my comment with //.
