> When CPU transmit directly to port using tag, the LAN9303 does not
> learn MAC addresses received on the CPU port into the ALR table.
> ALR learning is performed only when transmitting using ALR lookup.
> 
> Solution:
> If the two external ports are bridged and the packet is not STP BPDU,
> then use ALR lookup to allow ALR learning on CPU port.
> Otherwise transmit directly to port with STP state override.
> 
> The first patch moves struct lan9303 to include/linux/dsa/lan9303.h in
> order to prepare for the second patch. 
> 
> Changes v1 -> v2:
>  - new file: include/linux/dsa/lan9303.h instead of include/linux/lan9303.h
>  - include linux/if_ether.h in include/linux/dsa/lan9303.h
>  - renamed lan9303_tx_use_arl to lan9303_xmit_use_arl for consistency.
>  - removed inline keyword to lan9303_xmit_use_arl

Series applied, thank you!
