Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] bridge: Redirect to backup port when port is administratively down

Patch #1 amends the bridge to redirect to the backup port when the
primary port is administratively down and not only when it does not have
a carrier. See the commit message for more details.

Patch #2 extends the bridge backup port selftest to cover this case.

Ido Schimmel (2):
  bridge: Redirect to backup port when port is administratively down
  selftests: net: Test bridge backup port when port is administratively
    down
