The patch doesn't propose that. It proposes:

| net: bridge: enable bridge to install locked fdb entries from drivers
| 
| The bridge will be able to install locked entries when receiving
| SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE notifications from drivers.

Please write patches which make just one logical change, and explain the
justification for that change and precisely that change in the commit
message.
