This patch adds sysfs entries for address lookup engine entries and
control for the ALE(address lookup engine) found in TI SOC's.

You may not create private, driver specific, unique interfaces to
configure your hardware.
You must use existing facilities such as ethtool to add such things.
If the existing facilities are insufficient, you must extend them to
meet your (and potentially other's) needs.

I can't seem to dig up the original email perhaps my server is slow
today but did you consider using these hooks ndo_fdb_add(),
ndo_fdb_del(), and ndo_fdb_dump() added recently.
These are for adding/deleting and dumping the address forwarding
databases. Failing that would something like this RFC with another
attribute work,
