net: bridge: mst: Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) mode
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.
