Sounds good, thanks for the suggestion.

A NDO would be fine with me, Ido, what do you think?

Ido convinced me to convert the switchdev_port_attr_set() into a
blocking notifier such that we could veto operations in switch drivers,
once you do that, leaving the getter as switchdev_ops became pointless
:) but yes, it's a lot of code just to get there.
