Ageing of dynamic entries in the bridge requires learning to be on as well, but in these test cases you are only using static entries and there is no reason to enable learning in the bridge for that. I prefer not to leak this mv88e6xxx implementation detail to user space and instead have the driver enable port association based on whether "learning" or "mab" is on.
Then it makes most sense to have the mv88e6xxx driver enable port association when then port is locked, as it does now.
