Hi Greg, Sasha, Jaakub and David,

This patch series contains backports for a change that recently made it
upstream as f9b3827ee66cfcf297d0acd6ecf33653a5f297ef ("net: dsa: b53:
Support setting learning on port") however that commit depends on
infrastructure that landed in v5.12-rc1.

The way this was fixed in the netdev group's net tree is slightly
different from how it should be backported to stable trees which is why
you will find a patch for each branch in the thread started by this
cover letter. The commit used as a Fixes: base dates back from when the
driver was first introduced into the tree since this should have been
fixed from day one ideally.

Let me know if this does not apply for some reason. The changes from 4.9
through 4.19 are nearly identical and then from 5.4 through 5.11 are
about the same.

Thank you very much!

Florian, same comment I just sent to Tobias applies to you as well:
could you please call b53_br_fast_age when disabling address learning?
