Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] Remove getting SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS

Hi all,

AFAICT there is no code that attempts to get the value of the attribute
SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS while it is used with
switchdev_port_attr_set().

This is effectively no doing anything and it can slow down future work
that tries to make modifications in these areas so remove that.

David, there should be no dependency with previous patch series, but
again, feedback from Ido and Jiri would be welcome in case this was
added for a reason.

Thanks!
