Subject: [PATCH] bridge link: add option 'self'
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1417289
Upstream Status: iproute2.git commit 6fdb465869ccd
commit 6fdb465869ccda91d9cc2e6f8ee3aca448df5d33
Author: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com>

bridge link: add option 'self'
Currently self is set internally only if hwmode is set.
This makes it necessary for the hw to have a mode.
There is no hwmode really required to go to hardware. So, introduce
self for anybody who wants to target hardware.
v1 -> v2
- fix a few bugs. Initialize flags to zero: this was required to
keep the current behaviour unchanged.
v2 -> v3
- fix comment
