The recently updated ALE APIs cpsw_ale_del_mcast() and
cpsw_ale_del_vlan_modify() have an issue and will not delete ALE entry even
if VLAN/mcast group has no more members. Hence fix it here and delete ALE
entry if !port_mask.

The issue affected only new cpsw switchdev driver.

The code assumed calls cpsw_ale_del_mcast() should have a port mask '0' when
deleting an entry. Do we want to have 'dual' functionality on it?
This will delete mcast entries if port mask is 0 or port mask matches exactly
what's configured right?


Deleting the ALE entry if the port_mask matches execlty what's configured makes
sense. Can we change it to something that doesn't change the function argument?

I think something like:
mcast_members = 0;
if (port_mask) {
mcast_members = cpsw_ale_get_port_mask(ale_entry,
ale->port_mask_bits);
mcast_members &= ~port_mask;
}
if (mcast_members)
cpsw_ale_set_port_mask(ale_entry, mcast_members, ....)
else
cpsw_ale_set_entry_type(....)

is more readable?


Thank you. I've sent v2.
