From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx> Right now, the following would happen for a switch driver that does not implement .port_fdb_add or .port_fdb_del. dsa_slave_switchdev_event returns NOTIFY_OK and schedules: -> dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work -> dsa_port_fdb_add -> dsa_port_notify(DSA_NOTIFIER_FDB_ADD) -> dsa_switch_fdb_add -> if (!ds->ops->port_fdb_add) return -EOPNOTSUPP; -> an error is printed with dev_dbg, and dsa_fdb_offload_notify(switchdev_work) is not called. We can avoid scheduling the worker for nothing and say NOTIFY_DONE. Because we don't call dsa_fdb_offload_notify, the static FDB entry will remain just in the software bridge.
