Description

I usually get this warning when receiving LLC dummy fames:

20230731162447732 DLLC INFO llc_prim.c:199 Rx from lower layers: GRR-UNITDATA.indication
20230731162447732 DLLC DEBUG llc_grr.c:97 Rx GRR-UNITDATA.indication: SAPI=3 (SNDCP3), UI func=UI C/R=1 PM=1 E=0 IP=0 N(U)=0 FCS=2b2b2b
20230731162447732 DLLC NOTICE llc.c:847 LLE(ca7cb1c3/db2e1be6,SNDCP3){ASSIGNED_ADM} Dropping frame with invalid FCS 0x2b2b2b vs exp 0x561485: 43 c0 01 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b 2b

That LLC-PDU matches the llc dummy frame:

static const uint8_t llc_dummy_command[] = {
    0x43, 0xc0, 0x01, 0x2b, 0x2b, 0x2b
};

Need to find out whether it's a bug in osmo-pcu or in libosmo-gprs at the MS side.

Relevant information can be found in 3GPP TS 44.064 6.4.2.2 "Unconfirmed Information (UI) Dummy command"

According to Figure 11a the FCS is always encoded as all-0x2b, so osmo-pcu is correct there.
Also this NOTE:

NOTE 2: The format specified for the UI Dummy command ensures that a receiving LLC entity will always
discard it, since the FCS field check always fails (no matter what the length of the UI Dummy command
is).
