2015-02-01swdevice: add new apis to set and del bridge port attributesRoopa Prabhu
This patch adds two new api's netdev_switch_port_bridge_setlink and netdev_switch_port_bridge_dellink to offload bridge port attributes to switch port (The names of the apis look odd with 'switch_port_bridge', but am more inclined to change the prefix of the api to something else. Will take any suggestions). The api's look at the NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD feature flag to pass bridge port attributes to the port device.

2014-12-02net: introduce generic switch devices supportJiri Pirko
The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is only one ndo defined: - for getting physical switch id is in place. Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.
