====================
mlxsw: Unified bridge conversion - part 5/6
This is the fifth part of the conversion of mlxsw to the unified bridge
model.
The previous part that was merged in commit d521bc0a0f ("Merge branch
'mlxsw-unified-bridge-conversion-part-4-6'") converted the flooding code
to use the new APIs of the unified bridge model. As part of this
conversion, the flooding code started accessing the port group table
(PGT) directly in order to allocate MID indexes and configure the ports
via which a packet needs to be replicated.
MDB entries in the device also make use of the PGT table, but the
related code has its own PGT allocator and does not make use of the
common core that was added in the previous patchset. This patchset
converts the MDB code to use the common PGT code.
The first nine patches prepare the MDB code for the conversion that is
performed by the last patch.

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.
