These 3 port masks will only do what you expect while the bridge has
vlan_filtering=0, correct? When vlan_filtering=1, packets classified to
a VLAN which don't hit any FDB entry will be always flooded to all ports
in that VLAN, correct?

Maybe you could restrict transitions to flooding disabled on ports with
vlan_filtering 1, and restrict transitions to vlan_filtering 1 on ports
with flooding disabled. Or at least add some comments about the
limitations. I wouldn't want subtle incompatibilities between the
hardware design and Linux' expectations to go under the radar like this.
