Thanks for your patch.

There is no reason a bridge has to have an IP address.
This should be done in bonding device, doing it here is error prone.
Plus there are many more layered devices than bonding.

The patch also has many formatting issues.
Your mail client mangles patches.
Conditional expressions with & and && should have parenthesis.
