I have a similar concern for a future patch, where I want to turn on or off, whether the
device driver listens to SWITCHDEV_{FDB,DEL}_ADD_TO_DEVICE for a certain interface.
(Options will be: static MACs only, learning in the device or learning in bridge and notifications to device)
What about 'bridge link set dev $netdev learning_sync on self' respectively the corresponding netlink message?
