6b38c57198 Documentation: networking: switchdev: add missing "and" word
Even though this is clear from the context, it is nice to actually be
grammatically correct.

cfeb961a2b Documentation: networking: switchdev: separate bulleted items with new line
It looks like "make htmldocs" produces this warning:
Documentation/networking/switchdev.rst:482: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.

787a4109f4 Documentation: networking: switchdev: fix command for static FDB entries
The "bridge fdb add" command provided in the switchdev documentation is
junk now, not only because it is syntactically incorrect and rejected by
the iproute2 bridge program, but also because it was not updated in
light of Arkadi Sharshevsky's radical switchdev refactoring in commit
29ab586c3d ("net: switchdev: Remove bridge bypass support from
switchdev"). Try to explain what the intended usage pattern is with the
new kernel implementation.

0f22ad45f4 Documentation: networking: switchdev: clarify device driver behavior
This patch provides details on the expected behavior of switchdev
enabled network devices when operating in a "stand alone" mode, as well
as when being bridge members. This clarifies a number of things that
recently came up during a bug fixing session on the b53 DSA switch
driver.
