Subject: [PATCH 3.8 064/121] bridge: Handle IFLA_ADDRESS correctly when creating bridge device

3.8.13.24 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@....ntt.co.jp>

[ Upstream commit 30313a3d5794472c3548d7288e306a5492030370 ]

When bridge device is created with IFLA_ADDRESS, we are not calling
br_stp_change_bridge_id(), which leads to incorrect local fdb
management and bridge id calculation, and prevents us from receiving
frames on the bridge device.
