Presuming that "stp" is Spanning Tree, is the last sentence
above actually describing the behavior of a bridge port when a bond is
the member of the bridge? I'm not sure I understand what "member ports"
refers to (bridge ports or bonding slaves).

Why "__agg_has_partner"? Since the "else" of this clause is:
} else if (netif_carrier_ok(bond->dev)) {
netif_carrier_off(bond->dev);
}
I'm wondering if this will do the right thing for the case that
there are no LACP partners at all (e.g., the switch ports do not have
LACP enabled), in which case the active aggregator should be a single
"individual" port as a fallback, but will not have a partner.
