[PATCH net-next v6 1/4] net: dsa: add driver-private pointer to struct dsa_bridge

[Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>]

When a DSA driver offloads a bridge to firmware, it typically receives a
firmware-assigned bridge identifier (e.g. a FID) that must be stored and
retrieved by subsequent operations. Without a place to store this in the
DSA core's bridge structure, drivers must maintain a parallel list of
bridge objects and search it on every join, leave, and FDB operation.

Add a void *priv field to struct dsa_bridge so drivers can store their
firmware bridge identifier directly, eliminating the need for driver-side
bridge tracking structures.
