The ifreq structure to br_dev_do_ioctl() gives you the interface index
(rq->ifr_ifindex) which is currently not being used.

May be it can help..

That seems like a reasonable answer. I believe there's also some
workstation hardware with multiple Ethernet devices, all sharing the
same MAC address (=3D=3D hostid). It's not just Bluetooth. How does this
work with VLAN bridging?

Precisely what is it that's indexed on the interface's MAC address,
rather than the (index of the) physical interface itself?
