Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next 0/6] mv88e6xxx broadcast flooding in hardware

This patchset makes the mv88e6xxx driver perform flooding in hardware,
rather than let the software bridge perform the flooding. This is a
prerequisite for IGMP snooping on the bridge interface.

In order to make hardware broadcasting work, a few other issues need
fixing or improving. SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID is broken, which
is apparent when testing on the ZII devel board with multiple
switches.

Some of these patches are taken from a previous RFC patchset of IGMP
support.

Rebased onto net-next, with fixup for Vivien's refactoring.

Andrew Lunn (6):
  net: dsa: Fix SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID
  net: dsa: {e}dsa: set offload_fwd_mark on received packets
  net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Fixed port netdev check for VLANs
  net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Print offending port when vlan check fails
  net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Move mv88e6xxx_port_db_load_purge()
  net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Flood broadcast frames in hardware
