Subject: [Bridge] [PATCH net-next v4 3/8] bridge: mrp: Add 'enum br_mrp_hw_support'
Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2021 22:42:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210216214205.32385-4-horatiu.vultur@microchip.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210216214205.32385-1-horatiu.vultur@microchip.com>

Add the enum br_mrp_hw_support that is used by the br_mrp_switchdev
functions to allow the SW to detect the cases where HW can't implement
the functionality or when SW is used as a backup.
