Next patch is going to make RIF deletion more robust by removing
reliance on fragile mlxsw_sp_lower_get(). This is because a netdev is
not necessarily our upper anymore when its IP addresses are flushed.
The inet{,6}addr notification blocks are going to resolve 'struct
mlxsw_sp' using container_of(), but the functions they call still use
mlxsw_sp_lower_get().
As a preparation for the next patch, propagate 'struct mlxsw_sp' down to
the functions called from the notification blocks and remove reliance on
mlxsw_sp_lower_get().

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.
