net: dsa: sja1105: offload bridge port flags to device
The chip can configure unicast flooding, broadcast flooding and learning. Learning is per port, while flooding is per {ingress, egress} port pair and we need to configure the same value for all possible ingress ports towards the requested one. While multicast flooding is not officially supported, we can hack it by using a feature of the second generation (P/Q/R/S) devices, which is that FDB entries are maskable, and multicast addresses always have an odd first octet. So by putting a match-all for 00:01:00:00:00:00 addr and 00:01:00:00:00:00 mask at the end of the FDB, we make sure that it is always checked last, and does not take precedence in front of any other MDB. So it behaves effectively as an unknown multicast entry. For the first generation switches, this feature is not available, so unknown multicast will always be treated the same as unknown unicast. So the only thing we can do is request the user to offload the settings for these 2 flags in tandem, i.e. ip link set swp2 type bridge_slave flood off Error: sja1105: This chip cannot configure multicast flooding independently of unicast. ip link set swp2 type bridge_slave flood off mcast_flood off ip link set swp2 type bridge_slave mcast_flood on Error: sja1105: This chip cannot configure multicast flooding independently of unicast.
