> This patchset changes switchdev add, del, dump operations from this:
 ...
> to something similar to the notifier_call callback of a notifier_block:
 ...
> This allows the caller to pass and expect back a specific switchdev_obj_*
> structure (e.g. switchdev_obj_fdb) instead of the generic switchdev_obj one.
> 
> This will simplify pushing the callback function down to the drivers.
> 
> The first 3 patches get rid of the dev parameter of the dump callback, since it
> is not always neeeded (e.g. vlan_dump) and some drivers (such as DSA drivers)
> may not have easy access to it.
> 
> Patches 4 and 5 implement the change in the switchdev operations and its users.
> 
> Patch 6 extracts the inner switchdev_obj_* structures from switchdev_obj and
> removes this last one.
> 
> v2: fix error spotted by kbuild (extra ';' inline switchdev_port_obj_dump).

Series applied, thanks Vivien.
