Commit 39f3210154 ("net: dsa: don't fast age standalone ports")
assumed that all standalone ports disable address learning, but if the
switch driver implements .port_fast_age but not .port_bridge_flags (like
ksz9477, ksz8795, lantiq_gswip, lan9303), then that might not actually
be true.
So whereas before, the bridge temporarily walking us through the
BLOCKING STP state meant that the standalone ports had a checkpoint to
flush their baggage and start fresh when they join a bridge, after that
commit they no longer do.
Restore the old behavior for these drivers by checking if the switch can
toggle address learning. If it can't, disregard the "do_fast_age"
argument and unconditionally perform fast ageing on STP state changes.

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.
