It's a bit odd to get this message when turning off learning on a port with
MAB on, e.g....

# bridge link set dev a2 learning off
Error: MAB can only be enabled on a locked port with learning enabled.

It's better if you suggest something else. How about:

"Bridge port must be locked and have learning enabled when MAB is enabled"

?

Yes, I think that is better in case it should not be split into more than one
message. At least it is not bound to a specific action.
