Subject: [RFC net-next 7/7] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Request assisted learning on CPU port

While the hardware is capable of performing learning on the CPU port,
it requires alot of additions to the bridge's forwarding path in order
to handle multi-destination traffic correctly.

Until that is in place, opt for the next best thing and let DSA sync
the relevant addresses down to the hardware FDB.
