Subject: [Question] Any plan to write/update the bridge doc?

Hi,

Maybe someone already has asked. The only official Linux bridge document I
got is a very ancient wiki page[1] or the ip link man page[2][3]. As there are
many bridge stp/vlan/multicast paramegers. Should we add a detailed kernel
document about each parameter? The parameter showed in ip link page seems
a little brief.

I'd like to help do this work. But apparently neither my English nor my
understanding of the code is good enough. Anyway, if you want, I can help
write a draft version first and you (bridge maintainers) keep working on this.

Thanks
