Following patches will change the way of distributing port object
changes from a switchdev operation to a switchdev notifier. The
switchdev code currently recursively descends through layers of lower
devices, eventually calling the op on a front-panel port device. The
notifier will instead be sent referencing the bridge port device, which
may be a stacking device that's one of front-panel ports uppers, or a
completely unrelated device.
DSA currently doesn't support any other uppers than bridge.
SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB and _PORT_MDB objects are always notified on
the bridge port device. Thus the only case that a stacked device could
be validly referenced by port object notifications are bridge
notifications for VLAN objects added to the bridge itself. But the
driver explicitly rejects such notifications in dsa_port_vlan_add(). It
is therefore safe to assume that the only interesting case is that the
notification is on a front-panel port netdevice. Therefore keep the
filtering by dsa_slave_dev_check() in place.
To handle SWITCHDEV_PORT_OBJ_ADD and _DEL, subscribe to the blocking
notifier chain. Dispatch to rocker_port_obj_add() resp. _del() to
maintain the behavior that the switchdev operation based code currently
has.
