docs: net: dsa: delete misinformation about -EOPNOTSUPP for FDB/MDB/VLAN
Returning -EOPNOTSUPP does *NOT* mean anything special. port_vlan_add() is actually called from 2 code paths, one is vlan_vid_add() from 8021q module and the other is br_switchdev_port_vlan_add() from switchdev. The bridge has a wrapper __vlan_vid_add() which first tries via switchdev, then if that returns -EOPNOTSUPP, tries again via the VLAN RX filters in the 8021q module. But DSA doesn't distinguish between one call path and the other when calling the driver's port_vlan_add(), so if the driver returns -EOPNOTSUPP to switchdev, it also returns -EOPNOTSUPP to the 8021q module. And the latter is a hard error. port_fdb_add() is called from the deferred dsa_owq only, so obviously its return code isn't propagated anywhere, and cannot be interpreted in any way. The return code from port_mdb_add() is propagated to the bridge, but again, this doesn't do anything special when -EOPNOTSUPP is returned, but rather, br_switchdev_mdb_notify() returns void.
