Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] Remove BRENTRY checks from switchdev drivers

As discussed here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220214233111.1586715-2-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/#24738869

no switchdev driver makes use of VLAN port objects that lack the
BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY flag. Notifying them in the first place rather
seems like an omission of commit 9c86ce2c1ae3 ("net: bridge: Notify
about bridge VLANs").

Since commit 3116ad0696dd ("net: bridge: vlan: don't notify to switchdev
master VLANs without BRENTRY flag") that was just merged, the bridge no
longer notifies switchdev upon creation of these VLANs, so we can remove
the checks from drivers.

Vladimir Oltean (5):
  mlxsw: spectrum: remove guards against !BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY
  net: lan966x: remove guards against !BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY
  net: sparx5: remove guards against !BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY
  net: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: remove guards against
    !BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY
  net: ti: cpsw: remove guards against !BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY
