+Subject: [PATCH] nm: do not attach ovs-bridge to itself when creating a
+ profile
+
+If ovs-bridge and ovs-interface shares name and ovs-interface is
+modified, during the creation of the ovs-bridge profile we are setting
+itself as a controller.
+
+That is wrong and NetworkManager is reporting the following error:
+
+```
+libnmstate.error.NmstateLibnmError: Update profile
+uuid:ba206f8f-2ed6-486d-a339-9d1f62c5cb84 iface:br1 type:ovs-bridge
+failed with error=nm-connection-error-quark: connection.slave-type:
+Cannot set 'master' without 'slave-type' (6)
+```
+
+In order to solve that, before setting the controller we check that it
+is not itself.
