I meant the switchdev notification sent to drivers:
/* SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_PORT_MDB */
struct switchdev_obj_port_mdb {
struct switchdev_obj obj;
unsigned char addr[ETH_ALEN];
u16 vid;
};
By extending MDB entries to also be keyed by MAC you basically get a lot
of things for free without duplicating the same code for multicast FDBs.
AFAICS, then only change in the fast path is in br_mdb_get() where you
need to use DMAC as key in case Ethertype is not IPv4/IPv6.
