This will introduce a checkpatch warning if you re-run with the --file
option.  (I haven't tested).  It's sort of ugly to put function logic in
the declaration block.  That's really just for initializing variables
like "int start = 0; struct foo *p = parent_of_bar();"  Do it like this
instead:

	int err;

	err = br_switchdev_port_vlan_add(dev, vid, flags);
	if (err == -EOPNOTSUPP)
