A cleaner way to do this would be better to put a local entry in the forwarding database when mac address is manually set. Then there would not be special case code.
I agree, would be nicer to have it in the forwarding db. However to which bridge port should i attach this entry? Seems to be wrong for me to have it attached to a not related port... The intention of this patch is to set the bridge MAC to any address, not related to an bridge port interface.
