Sorry new to networking stuff here. Where does the below imply it is
for software devices?
* void (*ndo_change_proto_down)(struct net_device *dev,
 *                               bool proto_down);
 *      This function is used to pass protocol port error state information
 *      to the switch driver. The switch driver can react to the proto_down
 *      by doing a phys down on the associated switch port.
I will find out the use case (pinged customer again)

Thanks,
Sundeep
