Hi Vladimir,

thank you for quick review!

LAN9303 doesn't associate FDB (ALR) entries with VLANs, it has just
one
global Address Logic Resolution table [1].

Ignore VID in port_fdb_{add|del} methods, go on with the global
table. This
is the same semantics as hellcreek or RZ/N1 implement.

Visible symptoms:
LAN9303_MDIO 5b050000.ethernet-1:00: port 2 failed to delete
00:xx:xx:xx:xx:cf vid 1 from fdb: -2
LAN9303_MDIO 5b050000.ethernet-1:00: port 2 failed to add
00:xx:xx:xx:xx:cf vid 1 to fdb: -95

Thanks for taking a look. Although it would probably be safer to add:

Fixes: 2fd186501b1c ("net: dsa: be louder when a non-legacy FDB
operation fails")

since I'm not sure it has a reason to be backported beyond that.
Well, it's not only about visible errors, but the driver also refused
to install the FDB entries, so it's change in behaviour, not only
cosmetics.
Anyway:
