This patch expands on the earlier work on layer-2 mdb entries by adding
support for host entries.  Due to the fact that host joined entries do
not have any flag field, we infer the permanent flag when reporting the
entries to userspace, which otherwise would be listed as 'temp'.

Before patch:

    ~# bridge mdb add dev br0 port br0 grp 01:00:00:c0:ff:ee permanent
    Error: bridge: Flags are not allowed for host groups.
    ~# bridge mdb add dev br0 port br0 grp 01:00:00:c0:ff:ee
    Error: bridge: Only permanent L2 entries allowed.

After patch:

    ~# bridge mdb add dev br0 port br0 grp 01:00:00:c0:ff:ee permanent
    ~# bridge mdb show
    dev br0 port br0 grp 01:00:00:c0:ff:ee permanent vid 1

It would be nice to add a selftest for L2 entries. You can send it as a follow-up.
The patch looks good to me.

Thanks

Let's wait for that, also checkpatch says you need to balance brackets
to hold kernel coding style.

Jakub, by "wait for that" do you mean you'd prefer I add the selftests
to this?  Otherwise I'll send a v2 with the style fixes.

Best regards

Yes, add a selftest as a separate patch but in the same series.
