Are you exposing switchdev ops for the representators? didn't see that
or maybe it's in the 4th patch which didn't make it to the list?
Not at this time. In the future patches when we offload fdb/vlan
functionality, we could use switchdev ops.
but wait, this is the switchdev mode... even before doing any
offloading, you want (need) your representor netdevices to have the
same HW ID marking they are all ports of the same ASIC, this you can
do with the switchdev parent ID attribute.
OK. I will add switchdev_port_attr_get() with PORT_PARENT_ID support in v3.

Thanks
