> When CPU transmit directly to port using tag, the LAN9303 does not

> ALR learning is performed only when transmitting using ALR lookup.

> Solution:
> If the two external ports are bridged and the packet is not STP BPDU,
> then use ALR lookup to allow ALR learning on CPU port.
> Otherwise transmit directly to port with STP state override.

> - include linux/if_ether.h in include/linux/dsa/lan9303.h
> - renamed lan9303_tx_use_arl to lan9303_xmit_use_arl for consistency.
> - removed inline keyword to lan9303_xmit_use_arl

Series applied, thank you!
