When you resend, please send this patch separately, unless something
breaks really ugly with your MST series in place.

Sure. I found this while testing the software fallback. It prevents a
segfault in dsa_port_bridge_host_fdb_add, which (rightly, I think)
assumes that dp->bridge is valid. I feel like this should have a Fixes:
tag, but I'm not sure which commit to blame. Any suggestions?
