This is useful for switchdev drivers who are offloading MST states
into hardware. As an example, a driver may wish to flush the FDB for a
port when it transitions from forwarding to blocking - which means
that the previous state must be discoverable.

This is useful for switchdev drivers that might want to refuse to join
a bridge where MST is enabled, if the hardware can't support it.

br_mst_get_info answers the question: "On this bridge, which VIDs are
mapped to the given MSTI?"
This is useful in switchdev drivers, which might have to fan-out
operations, relating to an MSTI, per VLAN.
An example: When a port's MST state changes from forwarding to
blocking, a driver may choose to flush the dynamic FDB entries on that
port to get faster reconvergence of the network, but this should only
be done in the VLANs that are managed by the MSTI in question.

Generate a switchdev notification whenever an MST state changes. This
notification is keyed by the VLANs MSTI rather than the VID, since
multiple VLANs may share the same MST instance.

Whenever a VLAN moves to a new MSTI, send a switchdev notification so
that switchdevs can track a bridge's VID to MSTI mappings.

Trigger a switchdev event whenever the bridge's MST mode is
enabled/disabled. This allows constituent ports to either perform any
required hardware config, or refuse the change if it not supported.

Make it possible to change the port state in a given MSTI by extending
the bridge port netlink interface (RTM_SETLINK on PF_BRIDGE).The
proposed iproute2 interface would be:
bridge mst set dev <PORT> msti <MSTI> state <STATE>
Current states in all applicable MSTIs can also be dumped via a
corresponding RTM_GETLINK. The proposed iproute interface looks like
this:
$ bridge mst
port msti
vb1 0
state forwarding
100
state disabled
vb2 0
state forwarding
100
state forwarding
The preexisting per-VLAN states are still valid in the MST
mode (although they are read-only), and can be queried as usual if one
is interested in knowing a particular VLAN's state without having to
care about the VID to MSTI mapping (in this example VLAN 20 and 30 are
bound to MSTI 100):
$ bridge -d vlan
port vlan-id
vb1 10
state forwarding mcast_router 1
20
state disabled mcast_router 1
30
state disabled mcast_router 1
40
state forwarding mcast_router 1
vb2 10
state forwarding mcast_router 1
20
state forwarding mcast_router 1
30
state forwarding mcast_router 1
40
state forwarding mcast_router 1

Allow a VLAN to move out of the CST (MSTI 0), to an independent tree.
The user manages the VID to MSTI mappings via a global VLAN
setting. The proposed iproute2 interface would be:
bridge vlan global set dev br0 vid <VID> msti <MSTI>
Changing the state in non-zero MSTIs is still not supported, but will
be addressed in upcoming changes.

Allow the user to switch from the current per-VLAN STP mode to an MST
mode.
Up to this point, per-VLAN STP states where always isolated from each
other. This is in contrast to the MSTP standard (802.1Q-2018, Clause
13.5), where VLANs are grouped into MST instances (MSTIs), and the
state is managed on a per-MSTI level, rather that at the per-VLAN
level.
Perhaps due to the prevalence of the standard, many switching ASICs
are built after the same model. Therefore, add a corresponding MST
mode to the bridge, which we can later add offloading support for in a
straight-forward way.
For now, all VLANs are fixed to MSTI 0, also called the Common
Spanning Tree (CST). That is, all VLANs will follow the port-global
state.
Upcoming changes will make this actually useful by allowing VLANs to
be mapped to arbitrary MSTIs and allow individual MSTI states to be
changed.
