The main desire behind this is to provide coherent bridge information to the fast path without locking. For example, right now we set dp->bridge_dev and dp->bridge_num from separate code paths, it is theoretically possible for a packet transmission to read these two port properties consecutively and find a bridge number which does not correspond with the bridge device. Another desire is to start passing more complex bridge information to dsa_switch_ops functions. For example, with FDB isolation, it is expected that drivers will need to be passed the bridge which requested an FDB/MDB entry to be offloaded, and along with that bridge_dev, the associated bridge_num should be passed too, in case the driver might want to implement an isolation scheme based on that number. We already pass the {bridge_dev, bridge_num} pair to the TX forwarding offload switch API, however we'd like to remove that and squash it into the basic bridge join/leave API. So that means we need to pass this pair to the bridge join/leave API. During dsa_port_bridge_leave, first we unset dp->bridge_dev, then we call the driver's .port_bridge_leave with what used to be our dp->bridge_dev, but provided as an argument. When bridge_dev and bridge_num get folded into a single structure, we need to preserve this behavior in dsa_port_bridge_leave: we need a copy of what used to be in dp->bridge. Switch drivers check bridge membership by comparing dp->bridge_dev with the provided bridge_dev, but now, if we provide the struct dsa_bridge as a pointer, they cannot keep comparing dp->bridge to the provided pointer, since this only points to an on-stack copy. To make this obvious and prevent driver writers from forgetting and doing stupid things, in this new API, the struct dsa_bridge is provided as a full structure (not very large, contains an int and a pointer) instead of a pointer. An explicit comparison function needs to be used to determine bridge membership: dsa_port_offloads_bridge().
