[PATCH net-next 5/5] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: do not purge a VTU entry

From: Vivien Didelot
Date: Tue Jun 06 2017 - 16:59:38 EST


The mv88e6xxx driver currently tries to be smart and remove by itself a
VLAN entry from the VTU when the driven switch sees no user ports as
members of the VLAN.

This is bad in a multi-chip switch fabric, since a chip in between
others may have no bridge port members, but still needs to be aware of
the VID in order to correctly pass frames in the data path.

Remove the code purging a VTU entry when updating a port membership.
