This is a preparation patch for the removal of the DSA switch methods ->port_bridge_tx_fwd_offload() and ->port_bridge_tx_fwd_unoffload(). The plan is for the switch to report whether it offloads TX forwarding directly as a response to the ->port_bridge_join() method. This change deals with the noisy portion of converting all existing function prototypes to take this new boolean pointer argument. The bool is placed in the cross-chip notifier structure for bridge join, and a reference to it is provided to drivers. In the next change, DSA will then actually look at this value instead of calling ->port_bridge_tx_fwd_offload().

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.
