> Changes v1 -> v2:
>   - rename port_stp_update to port_stp_state_set
>   - don't change code flow of bcm_sf2_sw_br_set_stp_state
>   - prefer netdev_err over netdev_warn

>   net: dsa: make the STP state function return void
>   net: dsa: make the FDB add function return void
>   net: dsa: make the VLAN add function return void
