Hi Greg, Sasha, Jaakub and David,

This patch series contains backports for a change that recently made it
upstream as:

commit f3f9be9c58085d11f4448ec199bf49dc2f9b7fb9
Merge: 18755e270666 f9b3827ee66c
Author: Jakub Kicinski [off-list ref]
Date:   Tue Feb 23 12:23:06 2021 -0800

    Merge branch 'net-dsa-learning-fixes-for-b53-bcm_sf2'

That is a merge commit, not a "real" commit.

What is the upstream git commit id for this?

The commit upstream is f9b3827ee66cfcf297d0acd6ecf33653a5f297ef ("net:
dsa: b53: Support setting learning on port") it may still only be in
netdev-net/master at this point, though it will likely reach Linus' tree
soon.

Ah, I can't do anything with them until that hits Linus's tree, you know
this :)

The way this was fixed in the netdev group's net tree is slightly
different from how it should be backported to stable trees which is why
you will find a patch for each branch in the thread started by this
cover letter.

Let me know if this does not apply for some reason. The changes from 4.9
through 4.19 are nearly identical and then from 5.4 through 5.11 are
about the same.

Thanks for the backports, but I still need a real git id to match these
up with :)

You should have it in the Fixes: tag of each patch which all point to
when the bug dates back to when the driver was introduced. Let me know
if you need me to tag the patches differently.

The fixes: tag shows what id this patch fixes, not the git id of this
specific patch, like all stable patches show in their changelog text.

That's the id I need.  I'll just wait until this hits Linus's tree
before worrying about it.

thanks,

greg k-h
