The ocelot switches are a bit odd in that they do not have an STP state to put the ports into. Instead, the forwarding configuration is delayed from the typical port_bridge_join into stp_state_set, when the port enters the BR_STATE_FORWARDING state. I can only guess that the implementation of this quirk is the reason that led to the simplification of the driver such that only one bridge could be offloaded at a time. We can simplify the data structures somewhat, and introduce a per-port bridge device pointer and STP state, similar to how the LAG offload works now (there we have a per-port bonding device pointer and TX enabled state). This allows offloading multiple bridges with relative ease, while still keeping in place the quirk to delay the programming of the PGIDs. We actually need this change now because we need to remove the bogus restriction from ocelot_bridge_stp_state_set that ocelot->bridge_mask needs to contain BIT(port), otherwise that function is a no-op.

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.
