Under the legacy bridge model, the field 'bridge_type' is used only
in SFGC register, to determine the type of flood table (FID/FID offset).
Under the unified bridge model, it will be used also in SFMR register.
When a BUM packet needs to be flooded, SFGC is used to provide the
'mid_base' for PGT table. The access to SFGC is by
{packet type, bridge type}. Under the unified bridge model, software is
responsible for configuring 'bridge_type' as part of SFMR.
As preparation for the new required configuration, rename
'enum mlxsw_reg_sfgc_bridge_type' to 'enum mlxsw_reg_bridge_type'. Then
it can be used also in SFMR. In addition, align the names of the values to
internal documentation.

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.
