Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] mlxsw: Add neighbour offload indication

Neighbour entries are programmed to the device's table so that the
correct destination MAC will be specified in a packet after it was
routed.

Despite being programmed to the device and unlike routes and FDB
entries, neighbour entries are currently not marked as offloaded. This
patchset changes that.

Patch #1 is a preparatory patch to make sure we only mark a neighbour as
offloaded in case it was successfully programmed to the device.

Patch #2 sets the offload indication on neighbours.

Patch #3 adds a test to verify above mentioned functionality.

Patched iproute2 version that prints the offload indication is available
here [1].
