net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Flood broadcast frames in hardware
By default, the switch does not flood broadcast frames. Instead the broadcast address is unknown in the ATU, so the frame gets forwarded out the cpu port. The software bridge then floods it back to the individual switch ports which are members of the bridge. Add an ATU entry in the switch so that it floods broadcast frames out ports, rather than have the software bridge do it. Also, send a copy out the cpu port and any dsa ports. Rely on the port vectors to prevent broadcast frames leaking between bridges, and separated ports. Additionally, when a VLAN is added, a new FID is allocated. This represents a new table of ATU entries. A broadcast entry is added to the new FID. With offload_fwd_mark being set, the software bridge will not flood the frames it receives back to the switch.
