The documentation was already lagging behind by not mentioning the old
version of port_bridge_flags (port_set_egress_floods). So now we are
skipping one step and just explaining how a DSA driver should configure
address learning and flooding settings.

On one hand, the link is dead and therefore useless.
On the other hand, there are always more drivers to port, but at this
stage, DSA does not need to affirm itself as the driver model to use for
Ethernet-connected switches (since we already have 15 tagging protocols
supported and probably more switch families from various vendors), so
there is nothing actionable to do.

After the recent series containing commit bae33f2b5a ("net: switchdev:
remove the transaction structure from port attributes"), there aren't
prepare/commit transactional phases anymore in most of the switchdev
objects/attributes, and as a result, there aren't any in the DSA driver
API either. So remove this piece.

The chapter about tagging protocols is out of date because it doesn't
mention all taggers that have been added since last documentation
update. But judging based on that, it will always tend to lag behind,
and there's no good reason why we would enumerate the supported
hardware. Instead we could do something more useful and explain what
there is to know about tagging protocols instead.

DSA wants the master interface to be open before the user port is due to
historical reasons. The promiscuity of interfaces that are down used to
have issues, as referenced Lennert Buytenhek in commit df02c6ff2e
("dsa: fix master interface allmulti/promisc handling").
The bugfix mentioned there, commit b6c40d68ff ("net: only invoke
dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP"), was basically a "don't do
that" approach to working around the promiscuity while down issue.
Further work done by Vlad Yasevich in commit d2615bf450 ("net: core:
Always propagate flag changes to interfaces") has resolved the
underlying issue, and it is strictly up to the DSA and 8021q drivers
now, it is no longer mandated by the networking core that the master
interface must be up when changing its promiscuity.
From DSA's point of view, deciding to error out in dsa_slave_open
because the master isn't up is
(a) a bad user experience and
(b) knocking at an open door.
Even if there still was an issue with promiscuity while down, DSA could
still just open the master and avoid it.
Doing it this way has the additional benefit that user space can now
remove DSA-specific workarounds, like systemd-networkd with BindCarrier:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7478
And we can finally remove one of the 2 bullets in the "Common pitfalls
using DSA setups" chapter.
