Re: [Bridge] [PATCH RFC net-next 0/3] net: vlan: fix bridge binding behavior and add selftests

Hi Nik,

Please see below.

I had to export call_netdev_notifiers_info. Also, I wanted to define the
vlan-specific detail change struct in if_vlan.h and then include if_vlan.h
from netdevice.h, where the netdev_notifier_change_details_info struct was
defined, but I found out that I cannot include if_vlan.h in netdevice.h.
After consulting with Andy I added a new file for the
netdev_notifier_change_details_info. Again, I will send out a proper RFC
patch once we sort out the details.
