David S. Miller 38db25aeda Merge branch 'Update-DSAs-FDB-API-and-perform-switchdev-cleanup'
Arkadi Sharshevsky says:

====================
Update DSA's FDB API and perform switchdev cleanup

The patchset adds support for configuring static FDB entries via the
switchdev notification chain. The current method for FDB configuration
uses the switchdev's bridge bypass implementation. In order to support
this legacy way and to perform the switchdev cleanup, the implementation
is moved inside DSA.

The DSA drivers cannot sync the software bridge with hardware learned
entries and use the switchdev's implementation of bypass FDB dumping.
Because they are the only ones using this functionality, the fdb_dump
implementation is moved from switchdev code into DSA.

Finally after this changes a major cleanup in switchdev can be done.

Please see individual patches for patch specific change logs.
v1->v2
- Split MDB/vlan dump removal into core/driver removal.

v2->v3
- The self implementation for FDB add/del is moved inside DSA.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
