But since I am also doing the SW bridge implementation without mv88e6xxx
I need it to function according to needs.
Thus the locked entries created in the bridge I shall not put the sticky
flag on, but there will be the situation where a locked entry can move
to an unlocked port, which we regarded as a bug. In that case there is
two possibilities, the locked entry can move to an unlocked port with
the locked flag being removed or the locked entry can only move to
another locked port?
