Linux kernel source tree for SHARP Brain series (PW-SH1 or later)

After the transition from switchdev operations to notifier chain (which will take place in following patches), the onus is on the driver to find its own devices below possible layer of LAG or other uppers. The logic to do so is fairly repetitive: each driver is looking for its own devices among the lowers of the notified device. For those that it finds, it calls a handler. To indicate that the event was handled, struct switchdev_notifier_port_obj_info.handled is set. The differences lie only in what constitutes an "own" device and what handler to call. Therefore abstract this logic into two helpers, switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() and switchdev_handle_port_obj_del(). If a driver only supports physical ports under a bridge device, it will simply avoid this layer of indirection. One area where this helper diverges from the current switchdev behavior is the case of mixed lowers, some of which are switchdev ports and some of which are not. Previously, such scenario would fail with -EOPNOTSUPP. The helper could do that for lowers for which the passed-in predicate doesn't hold. That would however break the case that switchdev ports from several different drivers are stashed under one master, a scenario that switchdev currently happily supports. Therefore tolerate any and all unknown netdevices, whether they are backed by a switchdev driver or not.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
