Hi,
A few comments inline below, but in general when you prepare the rfc commit please
explain the motivation in detail why this way was chosen and a new notification type
is needed (e.g. why not use NETDEV_CHANGEINFODATA or extend NETDEV_CHANGE).
As I mentioned earlier it'd be nice to get feedback from others about adding this
new notification, so they should know the "why" in detail.

this should be in a vlan-specific structure, defined in if_vlan.h
every other link type which wants to use the notification would define its
own struct type

this helper is not needed

please don't remove the const, this function shouldn't change dev's struct

this helper is not needed, just fill in the details here and send the notification

you're not guaranteed to have a bridge device as its real_dev, so you should
validate that the vlan's real dev is a bridge

this helper is unnecessary, just fill in the struct at the caller site and
send the notification directly
