From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> The documentation was already lagging behind by not mentioning the old version of port_bridge_flags (port_set_egress_floods). So now we are skipping one step and just explaining how a DSA driver should configure address learning and flooding settings.
