Title:
  systemd-networkd can't set ip6tnl interface mode as any

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  systemd-networkd provides "Mode=" configuration for a virtual device
  of "Kind=ip6tnl". But setting mode to "any" doesn't work, tunnel mode
  stay as ipv6/ipv6:

  20/05/21 18:08:33 darkyman at mnt-myt-focal ~ > ip -6 tun show
  ip6tnl0: ipv6/ipv6 remote :: local :: encaplimit 0 hoplimit inherit tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000)

  I'm expecting it to be in any/ipv6 mode like:

  ip6tnl0: any/ipv6 remote :: local :: encaplimit 0 hoplimit inherit
  tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000)

  Config file attached (00-ip6tnl0.netdev), I'm using systemd `systemd 245 (245.4-4ubuntu3.6)` on a `Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS`.
  Currently I'm using systemd service as a workaround this issue, which sets mode to "any" by calling

  /usr/sbin/ip -6 tunnel change ip6tnl0 mode any

  And that's what networkctl thinks about this tunnel interface
