The SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_AGEING_TIME attribute is only emitted from:
sysfs/ioctl/netlink
-> br_set_ageing_time
-> __set_ageing_time
therefore not at bridge port creation time, so:
(a) switchdev drivers have to hardcode the initial value for the address
ageing time, because they didn't get any notification
(b) that hardcoded value can be out of sync, if the user changes the
ageing time before enslaving the port to the bridge
We need a helper in the bridge, such that switchdev drivers can query
the current value of the bridge ageing time when they start offloading
it.

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.
