Alaa, when you send the incremental fixup patch requested by Roopa,
could you please also:

- properly align the extack argument of the ocelot_port_fdb_del()
function
- properly align the extack argument of the vxlan_fdb_delete() function
- properly align the "DST, VNI, ifindex and port are mutually exclusive with NH_ID"
string to the open parenthesis of the NL_SET_ERR_MSG macro in vxlan_fdb_parse().
- make actual use of the extack in ice_fdb_add() and ice_fdb_del(), and
remove the __always_unused from ice_fdb_add().

Thank you.
