[PATCH net-next 0/9] net: dsa: netc: add bridge mode support

From: Wei Fang <wei.fang@xxxxxxx>

This series adds bridge mode support to the NETC DSA switch driver,
covering both VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware operation.

The NETC switch manages forwarding through a set of hardware tables
accessed via NTMP: the FDB table (FDBT), VLAN filter table (VFT), egress
treatment table (ETT), and egress count table (ECT). The series extends
the NTMP layer with the operations required for bridging, then builds the
DSA bridge callbacks on top.

Since all switch ports share the VFT, so only one VLAN-aware bridge is
supported.

FDB aging is managed in software. A periodic delayed work sweeps the
table using the hardware activity element mechanism, with a default aging
time of 300 seconds matching the IEEE 802.1Q standard. Per-port entries
are also flushed immediately on bridge leave and link-down events.

Wei Fang (9):
net: enetc: add interfaces to manage FDB entries
net: enetc: add "Update" and "Delete" operations to VLAN filter table
net: enetc: add interfaces to manage egress treatment table
net: enetc: add "Update" operation to the egress count table
net: dsa: netc: initialize the group bitmap of ETT and ECT
net: enetc: add helpers to set/clear table bitmap
net: dsa: netc: add VLAN filter table and egress treatment management
net: dsa: netc: add bridge mode support
net: dsa: netc: implement dynamic FDB entry aging
