[ Upstream commit d2e381c4963663bca6f30c3b996fa4dbafe8fcb5 ]
Cited commit started returning errors when notification info is not
filled by the bridge driver, resulting in the following regression:
# ip link add name br1 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
# bridge vlan add dev br1 vid 555 self pvid untagged
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
As long as the bridge driver does not fill notification info for the
bridge device itself, an empty notification should not be considered as
an error. This is explained in commit 59ccaaaa49b5 ("bridge: dont send
notification when skb->len == 0 in rtnl_bridge_notify").
Fix by removing the error and add a comment to avoid future bugs.
Fixes: a8db57c1d285 ("rtnetlink: Fix missing error code in rtnl_bridge_notify()")

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.
