Having multiple destination ports for a unicast address does not make
sense.
Make port_db_load_purge override existent unicast portvec instead of
adding a new port bit.

Yes, 'master'.
We talked about this before. 'bridge fdb add' is implicitly 'self' which
bypasses the bridge code and shoots straight for the .ndo_fdb_add that
DSA implements. Maybe we should just kill that to avoid further
confusion.

Tobias has a point in a way too, you should get used to adding the
'master static' flags to your bridge fdb commands, otherwise weird
things like this could happen. The faulty code can only be triggered
when going through dsa_legacy_fdb_add, but it is still faulty
nonetheless.

This bug is exposed when I try your patch series on kernel 5.4
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210106095136.224739-1-olteanv@gmail.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210116012515.3152-1-tobias@waldekranz.com/

Without this patch, DSA will add a new port bit to the existing
portvec when a client moves to the software part of a bridge. When it
moves away, DSA will clear the port bit but the existing one will
remain static. This results in connection issues when the client moves
to a different port of the switch, and the kernel log below.

Ah, ok, DSA adds an FDB entry behind the user's back and it relies upon
the driver behavior being 'override'. A bit subtle, though it gives one
good reason against someone suggesting "why don't you just refuse adding
the new entry instead of overriding, like the software bridge does".
Probably the refusal of overwriting an entry is what needs to be handled
at upper layers, we do need to be able to override from DSA.
I had a quick look through our other drivers and it seems that all of
them are happy to override an existing FDB entry (or at least the
software part is).

So the bug is really that an automatically learned address is promoted
to a static entry, right?

     br0
   /  |   \
swp0 swp1 eth0

1. A station starts out connected to swp0. An ATU entry is added by the
   switch via normal SA learning.

2. The station moves to eth0.

3. DSA reacts to the event on the foreign interface, reading back the
   entry from (1), adds the CPU port and _crucially_ modifies the state
   from MV88E6XXX_G1_ATU_DATA_STATE_UC_AGE_[1-7] to static.

4. If the station now moves to swp1, you get the ATU violation.

IMO, the condition should be changed to:

    /* User-configured entries take precedence over learned entries. */
    if (is_unicast_ether_addr(addr) &&
        (entry.state >= MV88E6XXX_G1_ATU_DATA_STATE_UC_AGE_1_OLDEST) &&
        (entry.state <= MV88E6XXX_G1_ATU_DATA_STATE_UC_AGE_7_NEWEST))

This should solve the issue discussed here, and it makes sure to keep
the ATU in sync with the FDB config, no matter how crazy the setup is.
