Merge branch 'mlxsw-fdb-learning-offload'



Jiri Pirko says:

====================
mlxsw: Offload FDB learning configuration

Ido says:
This patchset addresses two long standing issues in the mlxsw driver
concerning FDB learning.

Patch 1 limits the number of FDB records processed by the driver in a
single session. This is useful in situations in which many new records
need to be processed, thereby causing the RTNL mutex to be held for
long periods of time.

Patches 2-6 offload the learning configuration (on / off) of bridge
ports to the device instead of having the driver decide whether a
record needs to be learned or not.

The last patch is fallout and removes configuration no longer necessary
after the first patches are applied.
