Some bridge attributes or more accurately bridge port attributes overlap with port attributes.
IFLA_BRPORT_LEARNING from IFLA_PROTINFO and BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_PVID flag of IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO from IFLA_AF_SPEC are two examples where bridge port properties might have to be mapped to a common or driver specific port attribute.
Switch port driver that works without and explicit bridge device has to implement the bridge NDO's ndo_bridge_setlink/ndo_bridge_dellink.
It could take care of mapping such attributes from the bridge netlink message to either driver-specific port attribute of to an explicit one (assuming IFLA_ATTR_LEARNING would be accepted).
For example the driver could process the bridge learning information from the protinfo as such:
int sw_driver_br_setlink(struct net_device *dev, struct nlmsghdr *nlh)
{
struct nlattr *protinfo;
protinfo = nlmsg_find_attr(nlh, sizeof(struct ifinfomsg),
IFLA_PROTINFO);
if (protinfo) {
struct nlattr *attr;
attr = nla_find_nested(protinfo, IFLA_BRPORT_LEARNING);
if (attr) {
if (nla_len(attr) >= sizeof(u8)) {
if (nla_get_u8(attr))
brport_flags |= BR_LEARNING;
else
brport_flags &= ~BR_LEARNING;
}
}
/*
* Map bridge port attributes to driver-specific port attributes
*/
}
return 0;
