Subject: Unable to create ip alias on bridge interface

I am having a bridge named br0 having ports eno1 and eno2 as members.
I have given IP to br0 as 10.10.10.1/24

Now I want to create alias on br0 as br0:1 and give IP as
10.10.10.2/24, but I am unable to.

I know, we can add multiple IPs to br0 using "ip addr" command, but I
dont want to do it that way as I want all outgoing connections from
br0 to take src ip as 10.10.10.1. I know by providing option of "src"
in all routes, things can work but this looks more like a hack and
less of a solution.

Coming back to my original issue, I keep getting error "add bridge
failed: Invalid argument".

So, whats the best way out?
