Currently it never happens that a netdevice that is already a bridge slave would suddenly become mlxsw upper. The only case where this might be possible as far as mlxsw is concerned, is with LAG netdevices. But if a LAG already has an upper, enslaving mlxsw port to that LAG is forbidden. Thus the only way to install a LAG between a bridge and a mlxsw port is by first enslaving the port to the LAG, and then enslaving that LAG to a bridge. However in the following patches, the requirement that ports be only enslaved to masters without uppers, is going to be relaxed. It will therefore be necessary to join bridges of LAG uppers. Without this replay, the mlxsw bridge_port objects are not instantiated, which causes issues later, as a lot of code relies on their presence. Therefore in this patch, when the first mlxsw physical netdevice is enslaved to a LAG, consider bridges upper to the LAG (both the direct master, if any, and any bridge masters of VLAN uppers), and have the relevant netdevices join their bridges.

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 Restructured Text 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.
