SFD register configures FDB table. As preparation for unified bridge model, add some required fields for future use. In the new model, firmware no longer configures the egress VID, this responsibility is moved to software. For layer 2 this means that software needs to determine the egress VID for both unicast and multicast. For unicast FDB records and unicast LAG FDB records, the VID needs to be set via new fields in SFD - 'set_vid' and 'vid'. Add the two mentioned fields for future use.

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.
