When the possibility for it to be true will exist, _all_ switchdev
drivers will need to be updated to ignore that (mlxsw, cpss, ocelot,
rocker, prestera, etc etc), not just DSA. And you don't need to
propagate the is_locked flag to all individual DSA sub-drivers when none
care about is_locked in the ADD_TO_DEVICE direction, you can just ignore
within DSA until needed otherwise.

Maybe I have it wrong, but I think that Ido requested me to send it to all
the drivers, and have them ignore entries with is_locked=true ...

I don't think Ido requested you to ignore is_locked from all DSA
drivers, but instead from all switchdev drivers maybe. Quite different.

In any case I'm going to take a look at this patch set more closely and
run the selftest on my Marvell switch, but I can't do this today
unfortunately. I'll return with more comments.
