Currently the majority of dsa_port_bridge_dev_get() calls in drivers is just to check whether a port is under the bridge device provided as argument by the DSA API. We'd like to change that DSA API so that a more complex structure is provided as argument. To keep things more generic, and considering that the new complex structure will be provided by value and not by reference, direct comparisons between dp->bridge and the provided bridge will be broken. The generic way to do the checking would simply be to do something like dsa_port_offloads_bridge(dp, &bridge). But there's a problem, we already have a function named that way, which actually takes a bridge_dev net_device as argument. Rename it so that we can use dsa_port_offloads_bridge for something else.

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.
