>Hello, I am trying to expose MAC/VLAN ACL and pvid settings for IBM VNIC devices to administrators through devlink (originally through sysfs files, but that was rejected in favor of devlink). Could you give any tips on how you might go about doing this?

Tom, I believe you need to provide more info about what exactly do you
need to setup. But from what you wrote, it seems like you are looking
for bridge/tc offload. The infra is already in place and drivers are
implementing it. See mlxsw for example.
