I am not sure what you are asking. The variable was added in patch #2. It is used in the generic TC code to help decide whether to forward a frame or not. If enabled, the states of the ingress and egress ports are considered. The BMCA logic which forms the spanning tree is "for free" in the sense that we can re-use the existing logic. The p2p and e2e TC modules use the duplicated messages to run the BMCA state machine.
