> This will simplify pushing the callback function down to the drivers.

> Patches 4 and 5 implement the change in the switchdev operations and its users.

> Patch 6 extracts the inner switchdev_obj_* structures from switchdev_obj and

> v2: fix error spotted by kbuild (extra ';' inline switchdev_port_obj_dump).
