What do you mean by "I was *thinking*"? How is it possible that you are
submitting a selftest that you didn't bother running?!

I see you trimmed my earlier question: "Does this actually work?"

I tried it and it passed:

# ./bridge_locked_port.sh                         
TEST: Locked port ipv4                                              [ OK ]
TEST: Locked port ipv6                                              [ OK ]
TEST: Locked port vlan                                              [ OK ]            
TEST: Locked port MAB                                               [ OK ]            
TEST: Locked port MAB roam                                          [ OK ]
TEST: Locked port MAB configuration                                 [ OK ]
TEST: Locked port MAB FDB flush                                     [ OK ]

And I couldn't understand how that's even possible. Then I realized that
the entire test is dead code because the patch is missing this
fundamental hunk:

```

Which tells me that you didn't even try running it once. Now the test
failed as I expected:

Ran it again and it failed because of the second issue I pointed out:

Sigh
