Add the member sw_backup to the structures switchdev_obj_ring_role_mrp
and switchdev_obj_in_role_mrp. In this way the SW can call the driver in
2 ways, once when sw_backup is set to false, meaning that the driver
should implement this completely in HW. And if that is not supported the
SW will call again but with sw_backup set to true, meaning that the
HW should help or allow the SW to run the protocol.

For example when role is MRM, if the HW can't detect when it stops
receiving MRP Test frames but it can trap these frames to CPU, then it
needs to return -EOPNOTSUPP when sw_backup is false and return 0 when
sw_backup is true.

Remove #IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BRIDGE_MRP) from switchdev.h. This will
simplify the code implements MRP callbacks and will be similar with the
vlan filtering.

The switchdev_port_attr_set function prototype was updated only for the
case where CONFIG_SWITCHDEV=y|m, leaving a prototype mismatch with the
stub definition for the disabled case. This results in a build error, so
update that function too.

<title>net: switchdev: pass flags and mask to both {PRE_,}BRIDGE_FLAGS attributes</title>

<id>e18f4c18ab5b0dd47caaf8377c2e36d66f632a8c</id>
<content type='text'>
This switchdev attribute offers a counterproductive API for a driver
writer, because although br_switchdev_set_port_flag gets passed a
"flags" and a "mask", those are passed piecemeal to the driver, so while
the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS listener knows what changed because it has the
"mask", the BRIDGE_FLAGS listener doesn't, because it only has the final
value. But certain drivers can offload only certain combinations of
settings, like for example they cannot change unicast flooding
independently of multicast flooding - they must be both on or both off.
The way the information is passed to switchdev makes drivers not
expressive enough, and unable to reject this request ahead of time, in
the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS notifier, so they are forced to reject it during
the deferred BRIDGE_FLAGS attribute, where the rejection is currently
ignored.

This patch also changes drivers to make use of the "mask" field for edge
detection when possible.

<title>net: switchdev: remove the transaction structure from port attributes</title>

<id>bae33f2b5afea932176c1b9096851c81dc0983de</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the introduction of the switchdev API, port attributes were
transmitted to drivers for offloading using a two-step transactional
model, with a prepare phase that was supposed to catch all errors, and a
commit phase that was supposed to never fail.

Some classes of failures can never be avoided, like hardware access, or
memory allocation. In the latter case, merely attempting to move the
memory allocation to the preparation phase makes it impossible to avoid
memory leaks, since commit 91cf8eceffc1 ("switchdev: Remove unused
transaction item queue") which has removed the unused mechanism of
passing on the allocated memory between one phase and another.

It is time we admit that separating the preparation from the commit
phase is something that is best left for the driver to decide, and not
something that should be baked into the API, especially since there are
no switchdev callers that depend on this.

This patch removes the struct switchdev_trans member from switchdev port
attribute notifier structures, and converts drivers to not look at this
member.

In part, this patch contains a revert of my previous commit 2e554a7a5d8a
("net: dsa: propagate switchdev vlan_filtering prepare phase to
drivers").

For the most part, the conversion was trivial except for:
- Rocker's world implementation based on Broadcom OF-DPA had an odd
  implementation of ofdpa_port_attr_bridge_flags_set. The conversion was
  done mechanically, by pasting the implementation twice, then only
  keeping the code that would get executed during prepare phase on top,
  then only keeping the code that gets executed during the commit phase
  on bottom, then simplifying the resulting code until this was obtained.
- DSA's offloading of STP state, bridge flags, VLAN filtering and
  multicast router could be converted right away. But the ageing time
  could not, so a shim was introduced and this was left for a further
  commit.
