David S. Miller 798661c736 Merge branch 'mlxsw-unified-bridge-conversion-part-6' 
Ido Schimmel says:

====================
mlxsw: Unified bridge conversion - part 6/6

This is the sixth and final part of the conversion of mlxsw to the
unified bridge model. It transitions the last bits of functionality that
were under firmware's responsibility in the legacy model to the driver.
The last patches flip the driver to the unified bridge model and clean
up code that was used to make the conversion easier to review.

Patchset overview:

Patch #1 sets the egress VID for known unicast packets. For multicast
packets, the egress VID is configured using the MPE table. See commit
8c2da081c8 ("mlxsw: spectrum_fid: Configure egress VID classification
for multicast").

Patch #2 configures the VNI to FID classification that is used during
decapsulation.

Patch #3 configures ingress router interface (RIF) in FID classification
records, so that when a packet reaches the router block, its ingress RIF
is known. Care is taken to configure this in all the different flows
(e.g., RIF set on a FID, {Port, VID} joins a FID that already has a RIF
etc.).

Patch #4 configures the egress VID for routed packets. For such packets,
the egress VID is not set by the MPE table or by an FDB record at the
egress bridge, but instead by a dedicated table that maps {Egress RIF,
Egress port} to a VID.

Patch #5 removes VID configuration from RIF creation as in the unified
bridge model firmware no longer needs it.

Patch #6 sets the egress FID to use in RIF configuration so that the
device knows using which FID to bridge the packet after routing.

Patches #7-#9 add a new 802.1Q family and associated VLAN RIFs. In the
unified bridge model, we no longer need to emulate 802.1Q FIDs using
802.1D FIDs as VNI can be associated with both.

Patches #10-#11 finally flip the driver to the unified bridge model.

Patches #12-#13 clean up code that was used to make the conversion
easier to review.

v2:
* Fix build failure [1] in patch #1.

README 

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.
