The model we have for unsupported bits in the SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS and SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS handlers is essentially this:
if (flags & ~(supported_flag_mask)) return -EOPNOTSUPP;
if (flags & supported_flag_1) ...
if (flags & supported_flag_2) ...
I suppose applying this model here would address Simon's extensibility concern.
