Merge branch 'dsa-next'
Florian Fainelli says: ==================== net: DSA fixes for bridge and ip-autoconf These two patches address some real world use cases of the DSA master and slave network devices. You have already seen patch 1 previously and you rejected it since my explanations were not good enough to provide a justification as to why it is useful, hopefully this time my explanation is better. Patch 2 solves a different, yet very real problem as well at the bridge layer when using DSA network devices. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
