Hi,

>> No, this patch-set applies to both STP and RSTP. The driver and firmware
>> responds to the port-state transitions and FDB operations through the
>> standard Linux switchdev/bridge interfaces, with no STP/RSTP related
>> logic executed in driver/firmware.
>> 
>> We referred to RSTP in the commit message as it is our primary use case
>> and it implies support for STP as well.
> 
> I would not say RSTP implied STP, because the higher level
> implementation is very different. You need to know the low level
> details to understand they use the same driver API.
> 
> Please generalise the commit messages, mention STP as well as RSTP.
> 
> Thanks

Understood, we will update the commit message in the next version.
