There is no magic involved, here is the relevant snippet from
__switchdev_handle_port_obj_add:
/* Switch ports might be stacked under e.g. a LAG. Ignore the
* unsupported devices, another driver might be able to handle them. But
* propagate to the callers any hard errors.
*
* If the driver does its own bookkeeping of stacked ports, it's not
* necessary to go through this helper.
*/
netdev_for_each_lower_dev(dev, lower_dev, iter) {
if (netif_is_bridge_master(lower_dev))
continue;
err = __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(lower_dev, port_obj_info,
check_cb, add_cb);
if (err && err != -EOPNOTSUPP)
return err;
}

I ran through this on my setup and it is indeed propagated to all ports.
Just a thought, when you rebased the ocelot specific stuff to v2, did
you add the number of supported LAGs to ds->num_lags? If not, DSA will
assume that the hardware does not support offloading.

I understand, that is why I explicitly mentioned the lack of static FDB
support for example. But it absolutely should deal with the full list I
specified, so thanks for testing it.
