I believe it can happen in the following call chain:
br_handle_frame_finish
br_fdb_update // p->flags & BR_PORT_MAB
fdb_notify
br_switchdev_fdb_notify
This can happen with Spectrum when a packet ingresses via a locked port
and incurs an FDB miss in hardware. The packet will be trapped and
injected to the Rx path where it should invoke the above call chain.

Yes, agree. At least with mlxsw it is not a big deal right now because
it ignores entries with !BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER and locked entries are
always like that, but it would be good to make it more explicit.
