Future patches are going to move parts of the bridge MDB code to the
common rtnetlink code in preparation for VXLAN MDB support. To
facilitate code sharing between both drivers, move the validation of the
top level attributes in RTM_{NEW,DEL}MDB messages to a policy that will
eventually be moved to the rtnetlink code.
Use 'NLA_NESTED' for 'MDBA_SET_ENTRY_ATTRS' instead of
NLA_POLICY_NESTED() as this attribute is going to be validated using
different policies in the underlying drivers.

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.
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.
