    ocelot: Handle SWITCHDEV_PORT_OBJ_ADD/_DEL · 0e332c85
    Petr Machata authored
    Following patches will change the way of distributing port object
    changes from a switchdev operation to a switchdev notifier. The
    switchdev code currently recursively descends through layers of lower
    devices, eventually calling the op on a front-panel port device. The
    notifier will instead be sent referencing the bridge port device, which
    may be a stacking device that's one of front-panel ports uppers, or a
    completely unrelated device.
    
    Dispatch the new events to ocelot_port_obj_add() resp. _del() to
    maintain the same behavior that the switchdev operation based code
    currently has. Pass through switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() / _del() to
    handle the recursive descend, because Ocelot supports LAG uppers.
    
    Register to the new switchdev blocking notifier chain to get the new
    events when they start getting distributed.
