net: dsa: pass bridge down to drivers
Some DSA drivers may or may not support multiple software bridges on top of an hardware switch. It is more convenient for them to access the bridge's net_device for finer configuration. Removing the need to craft and access a bitmask also simplifies the code. This patch changes the signature of bridge related functions, update DSA drivers, and removes dsa_slave_br_port_mask.
