Well, yes, but if I'm correct, the bridge right now can't create locked

The bridge can create locked FDB entries with this patch set. That is part of the idea that a SW bridge will have the same features as the HW version, so first I made it in the bridge.


When the possibility for it to be true will exist, _all_ switchdev
drivers will need to be updated to ignore that (mlxsw, cpss, ocelot,
rocker, prestera, etc etc), not just DSA. And you don't need to
propagate the is_locked flag to all individual DSA sub-drivers when none care about is_locked in the ADD_TO_DEVICE direction, you can just ignore
within DSA until needed otherwise.
