I understand it now.
What about extending the function del_nbp? Basically just to make a call
to br_mrp_del(of course the br_mrp_del needs to be updated to receive
the port). In this way the pointers to ports in MRP are valid. Because
from the port we can go back to the bridge and from there we can find
which MRP instance has the port that would be deleted.

And the userspace will not need to call back in the kernel to delete the
MRP instance. But if the user wants to delete a MRP instance, it is
still required for the userspace to call in the kernel to delete the MRP
instance.

Good catch, also I noticed few other possible bugs in the file
br_mrp_switchdev file, which needs to be fixed.

No specific reason, I will update in the next patch series.
