The entry itself is not denying the access through the port, but
rather the fact that the port is locked and there is no matching FDB
entry.

Worth mentioning that the feature is enabled via the 'mab' bridge port
option (BR_PORT_MAB).

Overall looks OK to me. See one comment below.

I understand this function makes use of pr_info(), but it already gets
extack and it's a matter of time until the pr_info() instances will be
converted to extack. I would just use extack here like you are doing in
the next patch.

Also, I find this message more helpful:

"Cannot add FDB entry with \"locked\" flag set"
