A port added to a "single port bridge" operates as standalone, and this
is mutually exclusive to being part of a Linux bridge. In fact,
gswip_port_bridge_join() calls gswip_add_single_port_br() with
add=false, i.e. removes the port from the "single port bridge" to enable
autonomous forwarding.
The blamed commit seems to have incorrectly thought that ds->ops->port_enable()
is called one time per port, during the setup phase of the switch.
However, it is actually called during the ndo_open() implementation of
DSA user ports, which is to say that this sequence of events:
1. ip link set swp0 down
2. ip link add br0 type bridge
3. ip link set swp0 master br0
4. ip link set swp0 up
would cause swp0 to join back the "single port bridge" which step 3 had
just removed it from.
The correct DSA hook for one-time actions per port at switch init time
is ds->ops->port_setup(). This is what seems to match the coder's
intention; also see the comment at the beginning of the file:
* At the initialization the driver allocates one bridge table entry for
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* each switch port which is used when the port is used without an
* explicit bridge.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
