This broke rocker, since rocker didn't have a hardware (or software) mechanism for ageing out its learned FDB entries. This patchset reintroduces Siva's bridge driver patch to skip externally added entries and adds support in rocker so rocker can age out its own entries. Rocker does this using a software timer similar to the bridge's FDB garbage collection timer. Other switchdev devices/drivers can use this software timer method or program the device to nofity aged-out entries to the driver. Updated switchdev.txt documentation to reflect current state-of-the-art. This removes one more XXX todo comment in switchdev.txt. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
