To be able to add dynamic FDB entries to drivers from userspace, the
dynamic flag must be added when sending RTM_NEWNEIGH events down.

Why not 'is_static' and be consistent with the bridge flag like all the
other fields?

Regardless of how you name this field, it is irrelevant for
'SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE' notifications that all add FDB entries
with the 'BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN' flag set, which makes
'BR_FDB_STATIC' irrelevant.

Unclear why this is needed...


The answer to those two questions lies in my earlier correspondences (with Oltean) on the RFC version.
