Starting with patch:
a8b659e7ff75 ("net: dsa: act as passthrough for bridge port flags")

drivers without "port_bridge_flags" callback will fail to join the bridge.
Looking at the code, -EOPNOTSUPP seems to be the proper return value,
which makes at least microchip and atheros switches work again.

Fixes: a8b659e7ff75 ("net: dsa: act as passthrough for bridge port flags")

Fixes: 5961d6a12c13 ("net: dsa: inherit the actual bridge port flags at join time")

What we return to the bridge is -EINVAL, via dsa_port_pre_bridge_flags()
(it is a two-step calling convention thing). But dsa_port_bridge_flags()
should never return that -EINVAL to the bridge, because the bridge
should just stop if the "pre" call returned an error.

So the -EINVAL return value from dsa_port_bridge_flags() is just for
callers who don't bother to call "pre".

To be honest I don't know why I wrote dsa_port_inherit_brport_flags this
way. It might be better to just do:
