BCM5325 doesn't implement UC_FLOOD_MASK, MC_FLOOD_MASK and IPMC_FLOOD_MASK registers. This has to be handled differently with other pages and registers. Fixes: a8b659e7ff75 ("net: dsa: act as passthrough for bridge port flags") Signed-off-by: Álvaro Fernández Rojas <redacted> ---[snip]quoted

They are not documented in my databook.
They are in 5325E-DS14-R pages 112 - 112 (134/135) That being said, I don't thing we need to touch the MC/BC/DLF rate control registers when enabling/disabling flooding - these only limit how much traffic may be UC / MC on a port, but apart from that they do not limit flooding. We don't limit this on other switch models either. Regards, Jonas
