The following is written there:

|        v7:     Remove locked port and mab flags from DSA flags
|                inherit list as it messes with the learning
|                setting and those flags are not naturally meant

Can you go one level deeper with the explanation? What messes with the
learning setting? Why are those brport flags not naturally meant for
inheriting?

It's pretty hard to take your patch set seriously if you don't provide
proper explanations.
