[RFC PATCH net-next 1/1] net: Support for switch port configuration

[Varlese, Marco]

From: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@xxxxxxxxx>

Switch hardware offers a list of attributes that are configurable
on a per port basis.
This patch provides a mechanism to configure switch ports by adding
an NDO for setting specific values to specific attributes.
There will be a separate patch that extends iproute2 to call the
new NDO.

Signed-off-by: Marco Varlese <marco.varlese@xxxxxxxxx>
