[PATCH net-next 8/9] net: dsa: netc: add bridge mode support

From: wei . fang

Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 06:03:41 EST


From: Wei Fang <wei.fang@xxxxxxx>

Wire up the port_bridge_join, port_bridge_leave and port_vlan_filtering
DSA callbacks to support both VLAN-unaware and VLAN-aware bridge modes.

For VLAN-unaware bridges, each bridge instance is assigned a dedicated
internal PVID via NETC_VLAN_UNAWARE_PVID(bridge.num), counting down
from VID 4095. A VFT entry is created for this PVID with hardware MAC
learning and flood-on-miss forwarding enabled. The CPU port is included
as a VFT member so frames can reach the host. The reserved VID range is
blocked in port_vlan_add to prevent user-space conflicts.

Only one VLAN-aware bridge is supported at a time; this constraint is
enforced in port_bridge_join and port_vlan_filtering. The per-port PVID
is tracked in software and written to the BPDVR register whenever VLAN
filtering is active.

FDB operations are extended to the bridge database: when vid is zero the
VLAN-unaware PVID for the bridge is substituted. Dynamic entries learned
autonomously by the hardware are handled by falling back to a
key-element-data delete via ntmp_fdbt_delete_entry_by_keye() when an
entry is absent from the software shadow list. Internal PVIDs are
translated back to VID 0 in port_fdb_dump before reporting to
user-space.

Host flood rules are removed from the ingress port filter table when a
port joins a bridge to avoid bypassing FDB lookup and MAC learning.
