Hi Martin,

For some distributions (e.g. OpenWrt) we don't want to rely on rsync to copy the tests to the target as some extra dependencies need to be installed. The Makefile in tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding already installs most of the tests.
This series adds the two missing tests to the list of installed tests. That way a downstream distribution can build a package using this Makefile (and add dependencies there as needed).
Just for future reference, the netdev process is to mark patch sets such as this one with "PATCH net" since they fix a packaging problem with an rc kernel. There's more information about this in Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst.
Do we need to create a Makefile for the selftests symlinked by DSA in tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/dsa/, for the symlinks to be installed, or how do you see this?
The reason why I created the symlinks was to make use of the custom forwarding.config provided there, and also to reduce the clutter a bit and only focus on the selftests I felt were relevant for DSA for now.
