Mh ok, I hoped we could first have the base DSA driver merged before
starting to applying these kind of feature.
Concept looks handy, ideally I can just assign one ID for each port
like:
port 1 -> FIB 1
port 2 -> FIB 1
port 3 -> FIB 2
Question:
Ports of the same bridge should have the same FIB?
What I need to check is how the switch handle this for learning. Does
the switch correctly create FDB entry with the right FIB? If that's not
the case then I think assisted_learning is needed and HW Learn can't be
used?
(I still need to check if I can assign a default FIB for a port...
Currently the STP register are 2 bit for each FIB id, so 16 different
FIB are possible)
Also do we have a script for selft tests? I remember there was one back
in the days for fdb isolation?
