I don't like these structs being passed down as a "void *". I think that
we should have some "common" struct for these objects, event if it would
be empty and pass it down. "void *" does not look good at all, does not
tell the reader what that param is about. How about:

struct switchdev_obj {
};

struct switchdev_obj_vlan {
struct switchdev_obj obj;
u16 flags;
u16 vid_begin;
u16 vid_end;
};
#define SWITCHDEV_OBJ_VLAN(obj) \
container_of(obj, struct switchdev_obj_vlan, obj)

/* SWITCHDEV_OBJ_IPV4_FIB */
struct switchdev_obj_ipv4_fib {
struct switchdev_obj obj;
u32 dst;
int dst_len;
struct fib_info *fi;
u8 tos;
u8 type;
u32 nlflags;
u32 tb_id;
};
#define SWITCHDEV_OBJ_IPV4_FIB(obj) \
container_of(obj, struct switchdev_obj_ipv4_fib, obj)

/* SWITCHDEV_OBJ_PORT_FDB */
struct switchdev_obj_fdb {
struct switchdev_obj obj;
const unsigned char *addr;
u16 vid;
u16 ndm_state;
};
#define SWITCHDEV_OBJ_FDB(obj) \
container_of(obj, struct switchdev_obj_fdb, obj)


then pass struct switchdev_obj *obj down to drivers and in driver, get
original object by SWITCHDEV_OBJ_* ?
