Currently there is no ifdef switchdev anywhere else. Thanks, Nik

Currently there is no ifdef switchdev anywhere else. I think it would be better to convert this to a helper in -net-next and take the patch as it is for -net

Commit 6bc506b4fb06 ("bridge: switchdev: Add forward mark support for stacked devices") added the 'offload_fwd_mark' bit to the skb in order to allow drivers to indicate to the bridge driver that they already forwarded the packet in L2. In case the bit is set, before transmitting the packet from each port, the port's mark is compared with the mark stored in the skb's control block. If both marks are equal, we know the packet arrived from a switch device that already forwarded the packet and it's not re-transmitted. However, if the packet is transmitted from the bridge device itself (e.g., br0), we should clear the 'offload_fwd_mark' bit as the mark stored in the skb's control block isn't valid. This scenario can happen in rare cases where a packet was trapped during L3 forwarding and forwarded by the kernel to a bridge device.
