[PATCH net-next 0/2] net: dsa: lan9303: Learn addresses on CPU port when bridged

From: Egil Hjelmeland
Date: Tue Oct 24 2017 - 05:36:25 EST


When CPU transmit directly to port using tag, the LAN9303 does not
learn MAC addresses received on the CPU port into the ALR table.
ALR learning is performed only when transmitting using ALR lookup.

Solution:
If the two external ports are bridged and the packet is not STP BPDU,
then use ALR lookup to allow ALR learning on CPU port.
Otherwise transmit directly to port with STP state override.

The first patch moves struct lan9303 to include/linux/lan9303.h in order
to prepare for the second patch.
