You've lost me a bit.

still lost unfortunately.
So you want to enable learning on a port by port basis? Then we also
need to define how the two bits interact.
switch_learning + port_learning = port in learning mode
!switch_learning + port_learning = port not in learning mode?
etc.
Do bridges and users actually enable learning on a per port basis?
