If this doesn't convince everyone that this whole -EOPNOTSUPP mechanism is extremely error prone, I don't know what will. There should be only one or two strictly controlled locations that reinterpret the return value from all of these routines that have this special way of signalling lack of switchdev support via -EOPNOTSUPP. It can't be spread all over the place like this, it simply does NOT work.

Thank you.
[PATCH] bridge: Allow set bridge ageing time when switchdev disabled
When NET_SWITCHDEV=n, switchdev_port_attr_set will return -EOPNOTSUPP, we should ignore this error code and continue to set the ageing time.
