The patchset moves the DSA driver into learning static FDB entries via the switchdev notification chain rather then by using bridge bypass SELF flag.
The DSA drivers cannot sync the software bridge with hardware learned entries and use the switchdev's implementation of bypass FDB dumping. Because they are the only ones using this functionality, the fdb_dump implementation is moved from switchdev code into DSA. Finally after this changes a major cleanup in switchdev can be done. --- Please see individual patches for patch specific change logs. v1->v2 - Split MDB/vlan dump removal into core/driver removal.
