There is more than one logical change here. I suggest splitting it to
make review easier:

1. A patch allowing the bridge driver to install locked entries notified
from device drivers. These changes:

include/net/switchdev.h   |  1 +
net/bridge/br.c           |  4 ++--
net/bridge/br_fdb.c       | 12 ++++++++++--
net/bridge/br_private.h   |  2 +-

And the br_switchdev_fdb_populate() hunk

2. A patch allowing DSA core to report locked entries to the bridge
driver

2. This requires no code in the DSA layer as the bridge listens directly to the
kernel switchdev notifications.


3. A patch adding the new MAB flag to BR_PORT_FLAGS_HW_OFFLOAD

4. A patch allowing DSA core to propagate the MAB flag to device drivers

Not sure how this is related to the patchset.
