The MAB feature can be enabled on a locked port with the command:
bridge link set dev <DEV> mab on

Examples of output when the feature is enabled:

Blackhole FDB entries can be added, deleted and replaced with
ordinary FDB entries.

Example with output:

$ bridge fdb add 10:10:10:10:10:10 dev br0 blackhole
$ bridge -d fdb show dev br0
