Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next v5 0/3] remove bridge mode BRIDGE_MODE_SWDEV

Roopa, thanks for fixing this.  I'm a little lost on status of the
iproute2 patches related to this change and earlier changes.  Would
you and Jiri respin one set of iproute2 patches that gets us the final
answer?  It was getting a little messy with patches on top of
yet-to-be-accepted patches.  Thanks.
