Merge plan
==========
We need to agree on a merge plan that allows us to start submitting
patches for inclusion and finally conclude this work. In my experience,
it is best to work in small batches. I therefore propose the following
plan:
* Add MAB support in the bridge driver. This corresponds to patches
#1-#2.
* Switchdev extensions for MAB offload together with mlxsw
support. This corresponds to patches #3-#16. I can reduce the number
of patches by splitting out the selftests to a separate submission.
* mv88e6xxx support. I believe the blackhole stuff is an optimization,
so I suggest getting initial MAB offload support without that.
Support
for blackhole entries together with offload can be added in a
separate
submission.
As I understand for the mv88e6xxx support, we will be sending
SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE
events from the driver to the bridge without installing entries in the
driver.
Just to note, that will of course imply that the bridge FDB will be out
of sync with the
FDB in the driver (ATU).
* Switchdev extensions for dynamic FDB entries together with mv88e6xxx
support. I can follow up with mlxsw support afterwards.
