Future work
===========

The hostapd fork by Westermo is using dynamic FDB entries to authorize
hosts [3]. Changes are required in switchdev to allow such entries to 
be
offloaded. Hans already indicated he is working on that [4]. It should
not necessitate any uAPI changes so I do not view it as a blocker 
(Hans,
please confirm).
The dynamic ATU patchset will do changes in the switchdev and DSA layers
and in the driver of course, so I suppose that confirms what you think
(e.g. no changes in include/uapi), but it requires the fdb_flags towards
drivers patches of course and MAB driver changes, that are part of my
v8 patchset.
