net: dsa: microchip: make learning configurable and keep it off while standalone
Address learning should initially be turned off by the driver for port operation in standalone mode, then the DSA core handles changes to it via ds->ops->port_bridge_flags(). Leaving address learning enabled while ports are standalone breaks any kind of communication which involves port B receiving what port A has sent. Notably it breaks the ksz9477 driver used with a (non offloaded, ports act as if standalone) bonding interface in active-backup mode, when the ports are connected together through external switches, for redundancy purposes. This fixes a major design flaw in the ksz9477 and ksz8795 drivers, which unconditionally leave address learning enabled even while ports operate as standalone.
