> Commit 53e50a6ec24d ("Merge branch 'mlxsw-Add-VxLAN-support'") added
> mlxsw support for VxLAN when the VxLAN device was enslaved to
> VLAN-unaware bridges. This patchset extends mlxsw to also support VxLAN
> with VLAN-aware bridges.
> 
> With VLAN-aware bridges, the VxLAN device's VNI is mapped to the VLAN
> that is configured as 'pvid untagged' on the corresponding bridge port.
> To prevent ambiguity, mlxsw forbids configurations in which the same
> VLAN is configured as 'pvid untagged' on multiple VxLAN devices.
> 
> Patches #1-#2 add the necessary APIs in mlxsw and the bridge driver.
> 
> Patches #3-#4 perform small refactoring in order to prepare mlxsw for
> VLAN-aware support.
> 
> Patch #5 finally enables the enslavement of VxLAN devices to a
> VLAN-aware bridge. Among other things, it extends mlxsw to handle
> switchdev notifications about VLAN add / delete on a VxLAN device
> enslaved to an offloaded VLAN-aware bridge.
> 
> Patches #6-#8 add selftests to test the new functionality.

Nice clean changes, nice test cases, series applied.

Thanks!
