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.

Are you positive the 5325 implements all of those registers? 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.
In that case there's nothing to enable/disable on the BCM5325 and we
should do an early return on b53_port_set_ucast_flood and
b53_port_set_mcast_flood since UC_FLOOD_MASK, MC_FLOOD_MASK and
IPMC_FLOOD_MASK don't exist.

Jonas
