If you don't want to change the order, then at least make the replay/cleanup optional and set it to 'false' for mlxsw. This should mean that the only change in mlxsw should be adding calls to switchdev_bridge_port_offload() / switchdev_bridge_port_unoffload() in mlxsw_sp_bridge_port_create() / mlxsw_sp_bridge_port_destroy(), respectively.Is there any specific reason why you suggested me to move the switchdev_bridge_port_offload() call from the top-level mlxsw_sp_port_bridge_join() into mlxsw_sp_bridge_port_create() (and similarly, from _pre_bridge_leave to _destroy)? Even if you don't support replays right now, you'd need to move a bunch of code around before you would get them to work. As far as I can see, mlxsw_sp_bridge_port_create() is a bit too early and mlxsw_sp_bridge_port_destroy() is a bit too late. The port needs to be fairly up and running to be able to process the switchdev notifiers at that stage. Do you mind if I keep the hooks where they are, which is what I do for all drivers? I don't think I am missing to handle any case.
I want to avoid introducing unnecessary changes. I will do them when needed. Thanks
