The following patch enables sending notifications also for events on FDB entries that weren't added by the user. Give the drivers the information necessary to distinguish between the two origins of FDB entries. To maintain the current behavior, have switchdev-implementing drivers bail out on notifications about non-user-added FDB entries. In case of mlxsw driver, allow a call to mlxsw_sp_span_respin() so that SPAN over bridge catches up with the changed FDB.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
