What MAC address is used for these MRP frames? It would make sense to
use a L2 link local destination address, since i assume they are not
supposed to be forwarded by the bridge. If so, you could extend the
if (unlikely(is_link_local_ether_addr(dest))) condition.

Is this needed? The next block of code is a switch statement on
p->state. The default case, which BR_STATE_BLOCKING should hit, is
drop.

This function is on the hot path. So we should try to optimize it as
much as possible.
