Why not 'is_static' and be consistent with the bridge flag like all the
other fields?

Regardless of how you name this field, it is irrelevant for
'SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE' notifications that all add FDB entries
with the 'BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN' flag set, which makes
'BR_FDB_STATIC' irrelevant.

Unclear why this is needed...
