Again, I realize I haven't made it clear what concerns me here. On ->port_bridge_join() and ->port_bridge_leave(), the "bridge" is given to you as argument. 2 ports may join br0, and 2 ports may join br1. You disregard the "bridge" argument. So you enable forwarding between br0 and br1. What I'd like to see is what the hardware can do in terms of this "pattern matching", to improve on this situation.
