I just tested this on my box, you can't echo 2 into that sysfs file (it
reads back as 1).

That you can change this variable at all when an userspace stp
implementation is running is a bug anyway, IMHO. rstpd should do all the
required settings and the kernel should prevent them from being changed
while rstpd has the bridge under its control.
