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.
Any comments on the merge plan and patches #1-#4?
