Yes, but we can leave that for another day :)

no.

Any better ideas?
What you can do is follow the model of dsa_switch_supports_uc_filtering(), and create a dsa_switch_supports_mst() which is called inside an "if br_mst_enabled(br)" check, and returns bool. When false, you could return -EINVAL or -EOPNOTSUPP, as appropriate.
This is mostly fine, except for the pesky dsa_port_can_configure_learning(dp) check :) So while you could name it dsa_port_supports_mst() and pass it a dsa_port, the problem is that you can't put the implementation of this new dsa_port_supports_mst() next to dsa_switch_supports_uc_filtering() where it would be nice to sit for symmetry, because the latter is static inline and we're missing the definition of dsa_port_can_configure_learning(). So.. the second best thing is to keep dsa_port_supports_mst() in the same place where dsa_port_mst_enable() currently is.
What do you think?
