Okay I was under the impression that entries should be able to roam 
freely between authorized and unauthorized ports in the bridge as long 
as the locked flag is on when roaming to the MAB enabled port. As you 
know roaming is not a big issue with mv88e6xxx.

As I see this code, an entry cannot roam to an authorized port as there 
is no update after the port mismatch check and the packet is dropped as 
it should in this case in the locked section.
