    qtnfmac: track broadcast domain of each interface · decfc5c7
    Igor Mitsyanko authored
    If firmware reports that it supports hardware switch capabilities,
    driver needs to track and notify device whenever broadcast domain
    of a particular network device changes (ie. whenever it's upper
    master device changes).
    
    Firmware needs a unique ID to tell broadcast domains from each other
    which is an opaque number otherwise. For that purpose we can use
    netspace:ifidx pair to uniquely identify each broadcast domain:
     - if netdev is not part of a bridge, then use it's own ifidx
       as a broadcast domain ID
     - if netdev is part of a bridge, then use bridge netdev ifidx
       as broadcast domain ID
    
    Firmware makes sure that packets are only forwarded between
    interfaces marked with the same broadcast domain ID.
