This series moves bridge stp update api to follow the setlink/dellink
apis to propagate stp state updates to switch ports on stacked netdevs

v1 -> v2:
	fix comment
	add CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV checks

Can't we just do this stacked device traveral transparently?

That seems much cleaner to me.

David, if you mean not touch bond and team but have the switchdev api do 
it transparently, yes, i had it that way initially.
And i do liked it that way as well. But the feedback i received (during 
the initial introduction of this for setlink/dellink) was to make it 
explicit for each master.

Thanks,
Roopa
