Hi all, This patch series splits the removal of the switchdev_ops that was proposed a few times before and first tackles the easy part which is the removal of the single call to switchdev_port_attr_get() within the bridge code. As suggestd by Ido, this patch series adds a SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS which is used in the same context as the caller of switchdev_port_attr_set(), so not deferred, and then the operation is carried out in deferred context with setting a support bridge port flag. Follow-up patches will do the switchdev_ops removal after introducing the proper helpers for the switchdev blocking notifier to work across stacked devices (unlike the previous submissions).
