Hi Dave, Stephen,

Please note that this is going to conflict with recent mirroring to GRE
tap work when you merge net into net-next. The resolution is available
here:
git@...hub.com:jpirko/linux_mlxsw.git (branch: linux-next-fix)

Or simply here:
https://github.com/jpirko/linux_mlxsw/commit/8175f7c4736fe9f6a4dac330ee79b45593502a6c

Thanks and sorry about the added work.
