Yes, I have tried. I mean writes SFID of STREAMDATA in vsc9959_mact_stream_set() first, then calls ocelot_mact_learn() function to write VID, mac and STREAMDATA in MAC table. We don't need to introduce a new function. Once we call ocelot_mact_learn() function, STREAMDATA will be stored in the learned entry.

I tried the case that when MAC table index has changed, STREAMDATA will keep move with VID and MAC. The entry { STREAMDATA , VID, MAC} also can overwrite a static exist entry. I think we can do like this.
