mlxsw: Offload bridge device mrouter
Yotam says:
Similarly to a bridged port, the bridge device itself can be configured by
the user to be an mrouter port. In this case, all multicast traffic should
be forwarded to it. Make the mlxsw Spectrum driver offload these directives
to the Spectrum hardware.
Patches 1 and 2 add a new switchdev notification for bridge device mrouter
port status and make the bridge module notify about it.
Patches 3-5 change the mlxsw Spectrum driver to handle these notifications
by adding the Spectrum router port to the bridge MDB entries.
v1->v2:
- patch1:
- Don't add the MDB_RTR_TYPE_TEMP state and use the timer_pending to
distinguish between learning-on and learning-off states

These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
