net: dsa: b53: Various ARL fixes
This patch series fixes a number of short comings in the existing b53
driver ARL management logic in particular:
- we were not looking up the {MAC,VID} tuples against their VID, despite
having VLANs enabled
- the MDB entries (multicast) would lose their validity as soon as a
single port in the vector would leave the entry
- the ARL was currently under utilized because we would always place new
entries in bin index #1, instead of using all possible bins available,
thus reducing the ARL effective size by 50% or 75% depending on the
switch generation
- it was possible to overwrite the ARL entries because no proper space
verification was done
This patch series addresses all of these issues.
Changes in v2:
- added a new patch to correctly flip invidual VLAN learning vs. shared
VLAN learning depending on the global VLAN state
- added Andrew's R-b tags for patches which did not change
- corrected some verbosity and minor issues in patch #4 to match caller
expectations, also avoid a variable length DECLARE_BITMAP() call

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
