This patch is wrong, in many different acpects. Leaving the submission style, and no in-tree consumer aside, adding ndos for this thing is unacceptable. It should be handled as a part of switchdev attrs. Also, the solution should not be bonding-centric. I have a patchset in my queue which does this correctly, for bond and team using switchdev attr and with actual in-tree consumer, mlxsw driver. I plan to send that soon after net-next opens.
