Add support for configuring the learning state of a switch port. When the user requests the HW learning to be disabled, a fast-age procedure on that specific port is run so that previously learnt addresses do not linger. At device probe as well as on a bridge leave action, the ports are configured with HW learning disabled since they are basically a standalone port. At the same time, at bridge join we inherit the bridge port BR_LEARNING flag state and configure it on the switch port. There were already some MC firmware ABI functions for changing the learning state, but those were per FDB (bridging domain) and not per port so we need to adjust those to use the new MC fw command which is per port.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
