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 ...
Yes, but re-read my message about what "all the drivers" means.
