As I understand for the mv88e6xxx support, we will be sending SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE events from the driver to the bridge without installing entries in the driver. Just to note, that will of course imply that the bridge FDB will be out of sync with the FDB in the driver (ATU). > > * Switchdev extensions for dynamic FDB entries together with mv88e6xxx > support.
