mlxsw: Unified bridge conversion - part 2/6
This is the second part of the conversion of mlxsw to the unified bridge
model. Part 1 was merged in commit 4336487e30 ("Merge branch
'mlxsw-unified-bridge-conversion-part-1'") which includes details about
the new model and the motivation behind the conversion.
This patchset does not begin the conversion, but rather prepares the code
base for it.
Patchset overview:
Patch #1 removes an unnecessary field from one of the FID families.
Patches #2-#7 make various improvements in the layer 2 multicast code,
making it more receptive towards upcoming changes.
Patches #8-#10 prepare the CONFIG_PROFILE command for the unified bridge
model. This command will be used to enable the new model in the last
patchset.
Patches #11-#13 perform small changes in the FID code, preparing it for
upcoming 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.
