mlxsw fails device enslavement for a number of reasons. Use the extack
facility to return an error message to the user stating why the enslave
is failing.
Messages are prefixed with "spectrum" so users know it is a constraint
imposed by the hardware driver. For example:
$ ip li add br0.11 link br0 type vlan id 11
$ ip li set swp11 master br0
Error: spectrum: Enslaving a port to a device that already has an upper device is not supported.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. 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.
