It needs "master" keyword:

 $ bridge fdb get 00:11:22:33:44:55 br br0
 Error: Fdb entry not found.
 # bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev br0 self local
 $ bridge fdb get 00:11:22:33:44:55 br br0
 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev br0 master br0 permanent
 # bridge fdb replace 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy10 master static
 $ bridge fdb get 00:11:22:33:44:55 br br0
 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy10 master br0 static

"master" means manipulate the FDB of the master device. Therefore, the
replace command manipulates the FDB of br0.

"self" (which is the default [1]) means manipulate the FDB of the device
itself. In case of br0 it means manipulate the FDB of the bridge device.
For physical devices it usually translates to manipulating the unicast
address filter list.
