I just want to be completely sure as what should be done in version 5
with locked entries from the bridge, as - if I should implement it so
that they are sent to all the drivers, and the drivers then ignore them
if they don't need to take action? (for the mv88e6xxx driver, it does
not need them and can ignore but other drivers might need.)
