mainlining shenanigans

To determine whether a given port should react to the port targeted by the notifier, dsa_port_host_vlan_match() and dsa_port_host_address_match() look at the positioning of the switch port currently executing the notifier relative to the switch port for which the notifier was emitted. To maintain stylistic compatibility with the other match functions from switch.c, the host address and host VLAN match functions take the notifier information about targeted port, switch and tree indices as argument. However, these functions only use that information to retrieve the struct dsa_port *targeted_dp, which is an invariant for the outer loop that calls them. So it makes more sense to calculate the targeted dp only once, and pass it to them as argument. But furthermore, the targeted dp is actually known at the time the call to dsa_port_notify() is made. It is just that we decide to only save the indices of the port, switch and tree in the notifier structure, just to retrace our steps and find the dp again using dsa_switch_find() and dsa_to_port(). But both the above functions are relatively expensive, since they need to iterate through lists. It appears more straightforward to make all notifiers just pass the targeted dp inside their info structure, and have the code that needs the indices to look at info->dp->index instead of info->port, or info->dp->ds->index instead of info->sw_index, or info->dp->ds->dst->index instead of info->tree_index. For the sake of consistency, all cross-chip notifiers are converted to pass the "dp" directly. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
