When you use dsa_broadcast, it is reachable from _all_ switch trees, not from "the" switch tree. This was added to support "islands" of inter-compatible DSA switches separated by other DSA switches with incompatible taggers. Not sure if it was a voluntary decision to use that as opposed to plain dsa_port_notify. Not a problem either way.
You're right, I want dsa_port_notify. I will change it and also remove the tree_index from the notifier info struct.

Or else we will send the same packet through multiple ports. I.e. if
we have swp0..2 in a LAG with bucket config like this:
Bucket# swp0 swp1 swp2
0 Y n n
1 Y n n
2 Y n n
3 Y Y n
4 n Y n
5 n Y n
6 n n Y
7 n n Y
Packets that hash to bucket 3 would be sent out through both swp0 and
swp1, which the receiver would interpret as two distinct packets with
the same contents.
I will reword it to make it more clear.

Yep, will do. Thanks, Tobias
