The question still stands, which interface do llinfo entries logically
belong to?

llinfo addresses belong to the route with a destination that matches the address of an interface. The interface for the route is where the traffic for the address goes to, not where it comes from.
As it's a local address, a loopback interface is the logical exit point.

A better answer would be that arp(8) will show to which interface a llinfo entry belongs to.
