bridge: add API to notify bridge driver of learned FBD on offloaded device
When the swdev device learns a new mac/vlan on a port, it sends some async
notification to the driver and the driver installs an FDB in the device.
To give a holistic system view, the learned mac/vlan should be reflected
in the bridge's FBD table, so the user, using normal iproute2 cmds, can view
what is currently learned by the device. This API on the bridge driver gives
a way for the swdev driver to install an FBD entry in the bridge FBD table.
(And remove one).
This is equivalent to the device running these cmds:
bridge fdb [add|del] <mac> dev <dev> vid <vlan id> master
This patch needs some extra eyeballs for review, in paricular around the
locking and contexts.
