Vladimir Oltean acc64f52af net: mscc: ocelot: fix forwarding from BLOCKING ports remaining enabled
The blamed commit made the fatally incorrect assumption that ports which
aren't in the FORWARDING STP state should not have packets forwarded
towards them, and that is all that needs to be done.

However, that logic alone permits BLOCKING ports to forward to
FORWARDING ports, which of course allows packet storms to occur when
there is an L2 loop.

The ocelot_get_bridge_fwd_mask should not only ask "what can the bridge
do for you", but "what can you do for the bridge". This way, only
FORWARDING ports forward to the other FORWARDING ports from the same
bridging domain, and we are still compatible with the idea of multiple
bridges.

README

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.
