Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] Switchdev: flooding offload option

Main goal of the patchset is to allow for flooding offload to switchdev
in scenarios when HW switchdev ports and SW ports are operating in a
single bridge.

In case a data frame that needs to be flooded is ingressed on a SW port,
    it needs to be flooded to a single HW port of any given
    switchdev-capable hardware only. Switchdev hardware will than take care
    about flooding to the rest of the ports that it manages.


Igor Mitsyanko (5):
  bridge: initialize port flags with switchdev defaults
  bridge: propagate BR_ flags updates through sysfs to switchdev
  bridge: allow switchdev port to handle flooding by itself
  bridge: provide sysfs and netlink interface to set BR_FLOOD_OFFLOAD
  bridge: verify "HW only" flags can't be set without HW support
