The br_mrp_del() is called on the bridge interface and not on the port.
The flow as I see it: the port is deleted from the bridge, the userspace
will be notified by this, the userspace will determine the bridge on
which was the port and then the userspace will make netlink call on the
bridge interface. In this way it would not loose the callback when the
port is deleted from the bridge.
The question is when the bridge is deleted, I can see that first it
deletes the ports and then it would delete the bridge. In this case I am
loosing the callbacks.
Should the function br_dev_delete be exteded for this?

Thanks for the details. I will fix it in the next patch series.

I see, I will try to use rcu_dereference as you suggested.
