Strictly speaking, the:

> +	if (switchdev_trans_ph_prepare(trans))
> +		return 0;

should be here. In the prepare phase, you are suppose to validate you
can do the requested action, and return an error is not. In second
phase, actually carrying out the action, you then never return an
error.

But in this case, you are handling all the bridge states, so it should
not matter.
