Where is the equivalent of this happening? Where do we check that the
interface added to the bridge is part of the switch?

How about team/bonding? We are not ready to implement it yet with the
Marvell devices, but at some point we probably will. Won't we need the
events then? We need to know when a switch port has been added to a
team?
Or do you think a switchdev object will be added for this case?
Mellanox already have the ability to add switch interfaces to a team,
and then add the team to a bridge. So we need to ensure your solution
works for such stacked systems.
