> This patchset introduces support for the offloading of 802.1D bridges
> between VLAN devices. These can either be VLAN devices configured on top
> of the physical ports or on top of LAG devices.
> 
> Patches 1-2 deal with the necessary infrastructure changes needed in order
> to enable the above. The main change is that switchdev drivers can now know
> the device from which the switchdev op originated from.
> 
> Patches 3-10 lay the groundwork for 802.1D bridges support in the mlxsw
> driver, with patch 4 doing most of the heavy lifting.
> 
> Patch 11 finally offloads these bridges to hardware by listening to the
> notifications sent when the VLAN device joins or leaves a bridge. It is
> very similar to the already existing 802.1Q bridge we support.
> 
> Patches 12-14 add minor modifications to allow one to bridge a VLAN device
> configured on top of LAG.
