This output means that the FDB entry was deleted from the bridge driver
FDB.

br_fdb_find_rcu() does a lookup in the bridge driver FDB, but per the
output above, the entry isn't there for some reason. It's only in HW.

Can it be that you driver is deleting these entries from the bridge
driver FDB via SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE for some reason?
