This is an extension of previous work done by Vladimir Oltean: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210106095136.224739-1-olte...@gmail.com/
With this series, local addresses belonging to bridge ports or to the bridge itself are also synced down to the hardware FDB. As a result the hardware can avoid flooding return traffic to the CPU which is not only inefficient but also very confusing to users: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cagwvh_maqwukuhu5vuyjibmyn-frxcxxhrqbrm34gshzpsn...@mail.gmail.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/6106e3d5-31fc-388e-d4ac-c84ac0746...@prevas.dk/ Patch 1 through 3 extends the switchdev fdb notifications to include the local flag, and to handle the case when an entry is added to the bridge itself. Patches 4 through 6 enables DSA to make use of those extensions. Finally, enable assisted learning on the CPU port for mv88e6xxx.
